Celtic are reportedly ready to go “all out” in their pursuit of Hellas Verona striker Kieron Bowie this summer.
The former Hibs frontman has attracted widespread interest following Verona’s relegation, with several Serie A sides monitoring his situation after the Italian club paid around £5.5 million to sign him in January.
According to Corriere di Verona, Celtic are preparing a significant offer in an effort to rival Bologna, who are currently considered frontrunners for the 23-year-old.

Despite the drop, the Scotland international enhanced his reputation with goals against Inter Milan, Juventus, Torino and Bologna.
The report also notes that a return to Scotland could appeal to Bowie, with the prospect of European football on offer at Parkhead.
Verona boss Marco Baroni is understood to have told club chiefs that Bowie remains a key figure and should not be sold, but interest continues to build.
The Serie A side has reportedly placed a £13 million valuation on the striker as they look to fend off suitors.
