Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata is reportedly on the radar of Valencia in the summer transfer window.

Valencia are interested in signing Dedryck Boyata from Celtic in the summer transfer window, according to Voetbalkrant.

It has been reported that the Spanish outfit find the Belgium international central defender an interesting option.

Stepping up

Celtic are a massive club, but Valencia are a major player in La Liga and will be aiming to challenge for the top four yet again this season.

Los Che finished fourth in the Spanish league last season and will feature in the group stage of the Champions League this campaign.

That could be quite tempting for Boyata, who will also be stepping up by switching from Celtic to Valencia.

Moreover, if the 27-year-old defender is able to impress and perform to the best of his ability at Valencia, then he could attract the attention of Barcelona and Real Madrid, two of the biggest and most successful clubs in the world.

While Celtic will not be willing to part company with Boyata, the former Manchester City defender could find a potential offer from Valencia too tempting to resist.

Boyata has been on the books of Celtic since the summer of 2015 when he joined from City for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £1.5 million.
