Heart of Midlothian hero Claudio Braga has revealed there is 'interest' in him... just days after the Tynecastle side lost talisman Lawrence Shankland to Rangers for free.
Braga enjoyed an outstanding season in his first campaign at Hearts following his transfer from Norwegian side Aalesund.
He netted 14 league goals and 17 in total as Hearts came agonisingly close to winning the title for the first time in 66 years.
Portuguese ace Braga returned to Norway this week to visit his former club and he was asked about the possibility of a big money move from Hearts, because Aalesund reportedly have a 15 per cent sell-on clause.
Braga said: "I don't know what's going on. I have two years left on my contract with Hearts.
"There's probably some interest, but I'll leave it to my agents and enjoy my holiday."
And the 26-year-old insists he intends to put the traumatic ending to the season at Parkhead behind him and in instead looking at the positives of the campaign.

He said: "The season was absolutely fantastic, except for the last day, of course.
"But we can't forget what we achieved. It was something neither the club nor the fans expected. It was a very good season,
"The disappointment of what happened has not completely gone, because you do remember the bad things.
"But we have to look at the positives, at the fantastic season we've had and that we're going to the Champions League next season.
"Things change quickly in football and this season, it changed quickly for me.
"I thought I could do well at Hearts but never expected to be fighting for Player of the Year awards because of where I came from in Norway.
"Scotland has suited me very well. I have an aggressive playing style and I run for the team. The football there is very intense, but it helps to play as a striker for a team that is doing well.
"But I don't forget where I came from. I developed as a player in Norway. I became more mature as a player here in Norway and have always felt at home here."
