According to The Sun, Fulham in the Premier League and French club Lyon are interested in the 27-year-old former Manchester City defender – who earns £14,000 per week, as salary, as reported by The Daily Star.

The Daily Record has reported that Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and chief executive Peter Lawwell plan to hold urgent face-to-face talks with the Belgian central defender.
