Premier League new boys Newcastle are set to offer £9million in a bid to tempt away one of Celtic’s biggest stars.
Manager Rafa Benitez is reported to have made Jozo Simunovic one of his top defensive targets this season and could also be set to make a shock move for his on-loan teammate Efe Ambrose.
Simunovic has been one of the stand out performers for Brendan Rodgers’ side and the Parkhead club will be reluctant to see him go.
Ambrose has enjoyed a successful spell at Hibernian and Benitez would face competition from Neil Lennon to secure the Nigerian’s services next season.
Simunovic famously came close to securing a move to Serie A side Torino in August 2016 before the deal fell apart over the size of the transfer fee.
He remains under contract at Parkhead until 2020.
