Andy Walker claims Odsonne Edouard will leave Celtic this summer because the club are 'burning through cash'.
The striker has been widely linked with a move away from Parkhead including Premier League duo Arsenal and Leicester City.
Neil Lennon has made it clear he wants to keep his star man for their Ten in a Row pursuit, but a big money offer could still tempt Celtic with the transfer window still opened.
And former Hoops striker Walker says the club might be forced into selling Edouard due to the financial hit of the coronavirus.
He told Sky Sports : "Celtic's Odsonne Edouard is clearly destined to eventually play in a bigger league.
"He was voted by the Scottish football writers as their player of the year last season and it was an easy call to make.
"He is an outstanding talent, capable of playing for a top-six club in the Premier League and I wouldn't be at all surprised if Celtic took money for him now given how much cash they are burning every month with very little coming in."
