Celtic are pricing outcast Gustaf Lagerbielke out of his dream move to Dutch football, according to Twente Enschede technical director Arnold Bruggink.
The 24-year-old is on loan with the Eredivisie club until the end of the season and is then due to return to Parkhead, where he still has three years left on his deal.
Lagerbielke revealed at the weekend he wanted to turn the loan move into a permanent one, but it depended on Twente and Celtic reaching an agreement.
And, according to Bruggink, there doesn't seem much hope of that.

He said: "In this case, we are dependent on what Celtic want. They are asking for quite a bit of money.
"He is a very stable defender. We would like to make the deal permanent, but I think it is not very realistic at the moment."
The Swedish international cost Celtic £3 million when he signed from homeland club Elfsborg two years ago. However, he made only four league starts and was shipped off to the Netherlands on loan.
