Cluj are still trying to flog Billel Omrani by talking up interest from Celtic.
Over the last few seasons Celtic have tended to keep their transfer business under wraps with little prospect of a selling club talking them into an auction.
Omrani hit the headlines back in August when he scored twice at Celtic Park as the hoops crashed out of the Champions League qualifiers but in the season ended the Frenchman only managed to find the net six times. In eight Europa League matches Omrani scored one goal.
During the summer Celtic were expected to sign a striker but went without until the January signing of Patryk Klimala.
Omrani has a year left on his Cluj contract with director of football Bogdan Mara trying to create interest in the striker in an interview with The Sun:
We had discussions with several clubs and we had offers. Celtic made an offer and so did a club in England but when the offers came in, we needed him for European football and we still need him.
I think our asking price of £3million is a fair price and several clubs remain interested. I think once football restarts, those clubs who were interested will return to us.
He is an excellent player who has enjoyed an extraordinary season both at home and in Europe but we’ll look at the offers we receive and decide what to do once we return.
As they attempt to drum up interest in Omrani Cluj can always reference interest from Celtic despite nothing concrete emerging from Glasgow.
