Celtic defender Josip Juranovic's future has been the subject of much speculation over the last month.
The Croatian starred for his country at the World Cup in Qatar as they finished third in the tournament.
One team that seems to have an interest in the 27-year-old is Premier League side, Chelsea.
This is according to Sky Sports which is reporting that "internal talks" have taken place at the former Champions League winners with regards to signing a new right-back in January.
It comes after first-choice Blues full-back Reece James suffered a setback on his return from injury.

The Scottish champions have already signed a new right-back recently after Canadian Alistair Johnston put pen to paper on a five-year deal.
However, Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou has previously made clear that he is happy to play Juranovic despite the transfer interest.
He said:"He’s had a slight injury. It’s unlikely he’ll be available for Hibs, but we’ll see. Until we set eyes on him, we’ll see what condition he’s in. We won’t throw him back in unless he’s absolutely ready to go."
On the transfer interest, he added: "All this speculation. What I can tell you now is that we don't have an offer for any player.
"People can talk about offers and clubs wanting but I can't spend my time chasing shadows of what is in the press every morning. I would be spending my whole day talking to players.
"What I see is what is before me at training every day, if players have things put in front of them about their future I am sure they will come and see me and Michael will speak to their representatives.
"But right now there is nothing, zero, zip, nada, nothing going on."
