Rapid Vienna are reportedly putting pressure on Celtic to green-light a move for Marco Tilio.
The Austrian club want to sign the winger, who has made just two competitive appearances for the Parkhead club since joining them two years ago.
With a lack of options out wide, Brendan Rodgers has yet to give a thumbs-up to Tilio's Vienna switch, although pressure is now being put on his club to do so.

Indeed, Sky Sports claims that Celtic have stalled on letting Tilio go as they look to bring in a replacement winger. A £350,000 loan deal, with an obligation to buy for £1.3m, has been agreed, but that now could be in jeopardy.
While Rapid are reportedly willing to wait, they have now started their due diligence on other targets.

The news comes after Brendan Rodgers recently made his feelings clear regarding Celtic's incoming summer business and what they still have to do before the end of the window.
He said: "We’ve still got a wee bit of work to do. I think that it’s a huge credit to the guys who are here and how well they’ve worked. But the squad will hopefully look different again come the end of the window.
"We know the work that we need to do, and it’s my responsibility to convince the club that we really need them. I’m not doing that job as well as maybe what I can, but I will continue to pursue that because it’s something that’s important for us."
