Celtic are reportedly interested in Srdjan Babic this summer.
According to CNN Turkey, Celtic are interested in Red Star Belgrade centre-back .
It looks like Celtic will have to overhaul their central defensive options this summer.
Dedryck Boyata looks set to leave on a Bosman at the end of the season, while Filip Benkovic will return to parent club Leicester City.
The Hoops will probably have to replace both and they might have one replacement in mind.
CNN Turkey has credited Celtic with an interest in the man-mountain Babic, who stands at 6’5.
The report adds that Besiktas are leading the race for the 22-year-old Serbian, who they want as a replacement for Domagoj Vida.
Signing him could be tough for the Bhoys, who have competition from Monaco, Nice and also Feyenoord, in addition to the Turkish giants.
Babic played in three of the Serbian side’s Champions League outings earlier this season, but was part of a defence that shipped 13 goals in those games.
Despite being a central defender, Babic, contracted to Red Star until 2021, has managed three goals from 14 league appearances this season.
