Ferencvaros chief dampens Celtic's transfer hopes for Aissa Laidouni

The midfielder enjoyed an excellent World Cup with the African nation and has attracted a host of clubs to show interest, including the Hoops.

A number of French clubs and German side Wolfsburg have been credited with the strongest interest, but Celtic are also keen.

The Hungarian club's president Gabor Kubatov admitted this week they will be open to selling him.

However, the club's chief executive, Orosz, has expanded on that by revealing they could be looking for around 10 million Euros for Laidouni.

He said: "There is interest, but no specific concrete offers yet.
"The price of a player of this quality is high. We are talking about 10 million Euros.

"The important thing for him is he moves to a club that takes him up a level. He deserves to go to a prestigious club.

"It's also good for us if he moves to a big club because future players here can see that we are a stepping stone for a big move."

Celtic have already signed two players ahead of the January transfer window. 

Alsatair Johnston was signed off the back of his impressive performances at the World Cup with Canada. 

Yuki Kobayashi has also been signed ahead of January 1.
