Despite such limited senior experience, Celtic are said to be 'very interested' in signing Milosavljevic, claims maxbetsport.

The Parkhead side have inquired about potential conditions for a summer move, but have received a 'clear message' that the player is not for sale. That could yet change at the end of the transfer window, however, with clubs in France and England also in the running. 

It comes with Celtic also reportedly considering a move for out-of-contract Aberdeen goalkeeper, Ross Doohan, per The Herald. 

The 27-year-old came through the Parkhead club's academy and worked under Brendan Rodgers during his first spell at the helm. 

Doohan has proved a reliable back-up to Dimitar Mitov for Aberdeen this campaign, making 18 appearances across all competitions. 

He joined the Dons from Forest Green Rovers in 2023 and has enjoyed spells at Tranmere Rovers, Dundee United, Ross County and Ayr. 

In the goalkeeping department, Celtic are stacked with the likes of Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo available to Brendan Rodgers. 

The Finn showed up well in his side's 1-1 draw with Rangers at Ibrox on Sunday afternoon.
