Celtic-linked Niclas Eliasson has conversations with Ligue 1 club Nomes, Football Insider can reveal it exclusively.
The Scottish Sun previously reported this week that the Hoops had turned to the 24-year-old as they sought to recruit a left-back until next week.
A contracting source told Football Insider that Nimes is now well positioned to praise Eliasson of Bristol City.
Talks are ongoing about an agreement by which the Swede would leave Ashton Gate before his contract expires in the summer.
The City is at the loss of the left star 3 years after joining Norrkoping in his local country.
Eliasson has his last two league games and has played a total of 95 times for the league club, scoring seven goals and recording 21 assists.
This is the latest twist on the search for hoops of a wide type capable of competing with Greg Taylor.
Celtic ceded Boli Bolingoli to Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir before this month to lose on the team and on the payroll.
Strengthening that position is a priority for Neil Lennon and the Hoops hierarchy before Monday night’s deadline.
Nimes’ resolution for Eliasson comes after the site revealed the previous day that Celtic had made a 3 million pound offer for croatian foreign U-21 David Colina, who drove back to Hajduk Split.
Talks have also taken position with Tottenham on an imaginable loan deal for Ryan Sessegnon after Sergio Reguilon signed a £ 28 million deal.
Celtic has submitted a multi-million dollar loan offer, but Londoners five million pounds in fees and salaries for Fulham’s signature of two five million pounds.
Meanwhile, an “amazing” player has received information to upgrade James Forrest on Celtic after an update.
