Aaron Hickey has played down talk of a move to Celtic as he looks to the future in Serie A.
The left-back came through the club's academy before bursting onto the scene at Hearts in the Scottish Premiership.
The 19-year-old was then snapped up by Bologna last term and chipped in with their survival bid during another impressive personal campaign.
The Hoops are in need of a new left back after loan flog Diego Laxalt returned to AC Milan and just Greg Taylor available.
The Daily Mail reported on Thursday that Celtic are readying a bid, and Italian media outlet Fantacalcio claim that a bid in the region of £3million has been put on the table.
Speaking on Scotland's National HQ show earlier this week the former Tynecastle talent said: "I'm fully aware there has been interest. I can see it all.
"I've just got to keep my head down and keep full focus on Bologna now."
Hickey only moved to Italy last summer and reportedly turned down a move to Celtic to head abroad.
