Kelechi Iheanacho is weighing up lucrative offers from Saudi Arabia and Qatar as he considers his next move following his Celtic exit.

The Nigerian international is currently a free agent after leaving Parkhead, with talks over a potential return still ongoing. Returning manager Martin O’Neill has confirmed the club remains in discussions over a new deal.

According to the Daily Record, Iheanacho’s representatives are exploring a range of big-money opportunities in the Middle East, with several offers already on the table.

The 29-year-old is also attracting interest from clubs in Turkey and Major League Soccer as he assesses his options ahead of the new season.

Iheanacho joined Celtic as a free agent last summer but endured a disrupted campaign due to fitness issues, although he still delivered key contributions during the club’s run to a domestic double.

He scored in his final appearance for the club in May, netting the third in their 3-1 defeat of Neil Lennon's Dunfermline at the national stadium.
