JOSE MOURINHO is ready to test Celtic's resolve with a sizeable Fenerbahce bid for Hoops player of the year Daizen Maeda, it's being claimed out in Turkey.
The little Japan star bagged a whopping 33 goals this season and ended with a haul of individual awards.
And that's led to no shortage of interest in the 27-year-old, particularly from managers who know exactly how effective can be.
Two men with a keen eye on Scottish football are Jose Mourinho and Ange Postecoglou, even if rumours about the Aussie's future at Spurs refuse to go away.
And now Turkish outlet Sokcu are claiming that Fenerbahce are "very determined" to complete the transfer of Maeda, who has been excused international duty with Japan as he spends time with a new child back home.
But they also claim Celtic are demanding at least £25m for the player - and say that an interest from Tottenham has made their job "a little more difficult".
Only earlier this week, Maeda had given Hoops bosses a boost about staying for next season - but things can change quickly in football.
He said: "I was in great form this season, both personally and so were the team.
"So I'd like to keep it going next season.
"I am who I am because of my team, Celtic.
"I'd like to thank my teammates and, above all, my family for supporting me so far.
"I'd be happy if I could score more goals next season. I hope the number of goals will continue to increase."
