Celtic are likely to be busy in the January transfer window.
Turkish newspaper Fotomac claim Celtic are interested in signing Besiktas defender Dusko Tosic with the January transfer window less than three weeks away.
The report claims that Brendan Rodgers’ side are looking to add the powerful centre-back to their squad, along with RedBull Leipzig defender Marvin Compper, as the 32-year-old continues to shine for Senol Gunes’ side in the Super Lig.
Making 20 appearances in all competitions this season, the 21-time Serbia international has scored three goals for Besiktas, including one of Besiktas’ three strikes against title rivals Galatasaray in a 3-0 win earlier this month.
It is believed that Celtic would have to pay a fee of around £2.6million to land the experienced journeyman, who has moved to England during his career with a spell at Portsmouth in 2010 where financial implications prevented him from playing.
He’s also turned out for the likes of Real Betis, Werder Bremen and Sochaux, and has made 33 career appearances in both the Champions League and Europa League – something which will bolster Rodgers’ European adventure after Christmas.
Rodgers is likely to be after a centre-back in January as the likes of Jozo Simunovic and Erik Sviatchenko continue to suffer multiple injury problems, while Dedryck Boyata was guilty of a number of mistakes in the Champions League.
Tosic has just 18 months remaining on his current contract with the Turkish champions, and could be tempted to try pastures new in Scotland after spells in Turkey, Spain, England, Germany, France and Serbia.
