Celtic keeper Vincent Angelini is aiming to win a move to Brighton this week.
The 17-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has indicated he is likely to move on.
Celtic could decide to deal with the Seagulls just now, if he impresses, rather than run the risk of losing him to a cross-border tribunal in the summer, where they might need to accept a reduced fee.
The Parkhead side have lost a string of their rising stars over the last couple of seasons.
Liam Morrison and Barry Hepburn have joined Bayern Munich, Liam Hughes has gone to Liverpool, Cameron Harper has signed at Red Bull New York and Josh Adam is now at Manchester City.
But at least Jeremie Frimpong 's action-packed stay landed Celtic £13m when he joined Bayer Leverkusen.
Celtic are expected to make major changes to their playing squad this summer as they look to provide an immediate response to Rangers.
