Lecce are wary of competition for Celtic defender Gustaf Lagerbielke from Genoa, especially as the Rossoblu are set to receive a financial boost.
Celtic signed Lagerbielke just last summer, but after only four months in Glasgow the Swede could be heading out of the exit door following a limited impact.
The defender has failed to make himself a regular part of the Bhoys’ backline and the club are expected to be open to offers.
Italian side Lecce are keen on snapping up Lagerbielke and are interested in taking him to Italy on loan.
However, they are wary of a interest from fellow Serie A outfit Genoa, according to Italian outlet Calciomercato.com, especially as the Rossoblu are set to have their finances boosted.
Genoa are close to earning a total of €30m from the sale of Radu Dragusin to Tottenham Hotspur.
The Rossoblu will want a replacement bringing in and are admirers of Celtic’s Lagerbielke.
Lecce will hope to be able to move quickly to land the Celtic man on loan before Genoa can make their presence felt in the chase.
