The Hoops are in the midst of a rebuilding process under new boss Ange Postecoglou and are keen on reinforcing their squad in the ongoing transfer window.
Celtic see left-back as a priority position that needs bolstering this summer and have zeroed in on Bologna star Hickey as a top target.
And the Glasgow giants have tabled a €3.5m bid for the full-back, which they will hope can do the trick.
It has been claimed that Bologna are looking for a fee around the €4.6m and the Hoops are waiting to hear back from the Italians over Hickey.
Hickey was part of Celtic’s Under-17s before he joined Hearts, where he broke into the senior team.
The 19-year-old left Scotland for Bologna in September 2020 and has continued his development in Serie A.
Glasgow-born Hickey could now be looking at a homecoming this summer with a potential return to Celtic Park on the cards.
