Celtic are said to be wanting to sign Fabio Borini from Sunderland this summer.

Celtic transfer target Fabio Borini has told Corriere dello Sport that he is yet to decide on which club he will join this summer.

Borini is set to leave Sunderland, following their relegation from the Premier League.

Celtic are currently thought to be one of the leading contenders to sign the Italian attacker (Daily Record).

But Borini also has offers from clubs back in his homeland, and the 26-year-old admits that he is still pondering over which team to join.

“My decision will depend, since as I said in the previous answer, from which club puts up the more stimulating, competitive and stable offer that is better suited to my personality – as a person and as a player,” Borini said.

Borini’s words suggest that if Celtic offer him a long-term contract, they stand a better chance of sealing his signature.

Celtic boss Brendan rodgers is a known admirer of Borini, having worked with the forward at Liverpool earlier on in their respective careers.

Borini’s past season at Sunderland was not a success, as he failed to show his top form.

However, if Celtic were able to bring him to Glasgow, he would considerably improve the Bhoys’ attacking options for the upcoming campaign.
