AC Milan defender Dario Simic insists the chance to play in an Old Firm derby would tempt him to snub a move to Galatasaray in favour of joining Celtic.
The 32-year-old Croatia international is set to leave the San Siro and has been made aware of the Parkhead side's interest.
Simic told the Daily Record he favours a move to Glasgow over a new start in Turkey.
He said: "Galatasaray want me to join them and Celtic want me too.
"If I could choose there is no doubt I'd prefer to join Celtic.
"They are a big club with an amazing football culture and there is nothing more exciting than the prospect of playing in a Glasgow derby against Rangers.
"I am talking about the situation to Milan and hoping a move can take place.
"My desire is to play outside of Italy next season.
"I've been here a very long time with Inter and AC Milan and I want to taste a new league."
