Odsonne Edouard and Celtic in Milan transfer triangle as Frenchman on three man shortlist to partner Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Celtic striker Odsonne Edouard is reportedly on a three-man Milan shortlist as they look for a summer signing.

The France Under-21 international is out of contract in the summer of 2022 and is widely expected to leave in the summer as the Parkhead club look at avoid the nightmare scenario of a Bosman exit.

Leicester City and Arsenal are among the clubs who have been linked with a move, and Serie A giants Milan have also shown consistent interest.

Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic is set to sign a new contract at San Siro but he'll be 40 in October and has suffered from muscular problems this season.

Mario Mandzukic arrived as backup in January but has managed just four subsitute appearances in Serie A as he too suffers with niggling injuries after a year out of the game.

According to Corriere dello Sport the top target for the summer is Dusan Vlahovic of Fiorentina but the price may prove prohibitive.

The Serb would love to play with his idol Ibrahimovic but his club would demand at least €40million (£34m) to sell.

It's a similar story for Andrea Belotti of Torino. His contract expires in 2022 but the Granata are in talks over a new deal.

According to Corriere dello Sport that's left three names on Milan's list.

Joining Edouard are Arkadiusz Milik of Marseille and and AZ Alkmaar's Myron Boadu.

But the Pole is under contract until 2025 and Boadu until 2023, meaning the Celtic star could be the most cost-effective option.
