Celtic's asking price for Sead Haksabanovic has reportedly been revealed.
The Montenegrin attacker is currently on loan at Stoke City.
The 24-year-old has spent the majority of the season with the Championship club, having joined the Potters on deadline day of the summer window.
He's made 21 appearances for the club and has managed just a solitary goal, which came back in September during a win over Bristol City.
Haksabanovic hasn't had his troubles to seek in terms of injuries, in fairness to the player, but it seems he won't be remaining at the Bet365 Stadium next term anyway.
That's because Celtic have slapped a £2.2m asking price on the winger.
And according to Swedish outlet Fotbol Direkt, this has put Stoke off any potential deal.
So, it seems that the attacker will re-unite with Brendan Rodgers and the rest of the first-team squad in late June, as they tackle pre-season.
He was an Ange Postecoglou signing and still has three years left on his current contract.
It is widely expected that he's not part of the manager's long-term plans at the club, and so it seems highly likely he will be allowed to find a new club before the 2024/25 season begins.
And if it's to be a permanent deal for the wide man, then a fee of just over £2m will be required.

Meanwhile, Joe Hart could reportedly re-join Manchester City in an emotional return back to the club where he previously enjoyed glittering success.
The former England No.1 has been Celtic's first-choice goalkeeper across the past three seasons.
But the 37-year-old has announced his intentions to retire from the sport at the end of the campaign.
He revealed his decision back in February this year, and he's hoping to go out on the high by helping the Hoops to lift the league and cup double in May.
