Celtic do not want to lose their star hitman.
Italian giants AC Milan have requested a second meeting with the advisors of Celtic star Moussa Dembele, as they continue their hunt for the 20-year-old.
Dembele enjoyed a breakthrough debut season at Celtic Park after moving north of the border from Fulham and has a host of Europe's big guns on notice - including the Rossoneri, exclusively reports the Daily Record.
Milan chiefs made first contact with the player's representatives last month, and are now looking for a second sit down for the £30million-rated Hoops star.
PROMOTED STORIES
Celtic are adamant that the French kid will not be sold this summer with manager Brendan Rodgers intent on getting through the qualifiers and having a real crack at the making the last 16 of the competition.With this in mind, the Serie A giants are fully aware that there is next to no chance of Parkhead chiefs sanctioning a sale of the attacker before the close of this current transfer window.
However, the shrewd Italians are keen to maintain their links and build relations to ensure they are at the forefront of the race just in case there is any change of heart by Celtic or, most likely, he becomes available either in January or next summer.
Record Sport understands Germans Borussia Dortmund and English champions Chelsea are the clubs most likely to come in with concrete offers this summer to try and tempt the Scottish champions.
But Dembele is set to stay put and Milan are putting in the vital groundwork now to try and ensure they are amongst the first notified when the time comes for the former Fulham starlet to take the next step in his career.
