A number of Portuguese news agencies have linked Olivier Ntcham with a move to FC Porto, with the initial claim coming from Radio Monte Carlo.

The midfielder joined Celtic a year ago and cemented a regular first team place in the second half of the season- scoring in the semi and final of the Scottish Cup.

West Ham were recently credited with an interest in Ntcham but with a contract running until 2021 Celtic have no intention of selling the former Manchester City midfielder.

Amusing Zero Zero reports:

However, according to the same source, Catholics  are open to a possible sale of the 22-year-old player if the club fails to gain access to the Champions League Group Stage ( 1×1 against AEK in the first leg of the third qualifying round of the test).

Ntcham will be a key figure for Celtic tomorrow night as they attempt to progress into the play off round of the Champions League.

Alongside Scott Brown the French u-21 international has become a key player in the Celtic midfield, scoring a crucial goal against Rosenborg to help see off the Norwegian champions.

Reaching the group phase could bring in around £40m to the club with the Europa League worth around a quarter of that figure.
