Celtic will wait until Champions League qualification before making a decision on star Moussa Dembele, according to the Daily Mail.

The news publication details that the 20-year-old striker is interesting a number of top-flight clubs with each of AC Milan, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Marseille and Sevilla all credited to have an interest.

However, the Hoops are unwilling to sell the Frenchman for anything less than £30million, while they also want Dembele to spearhead their Champions League qualifying campaign which will begin in July.

Dembele made the switch to Celtic last summer in a £450,000 deal from English Championship side Fulham.

He agreed a four-year contract at the club at the time of signing and went on to play a key role as the Hoops won a domestic treble with a stunning return of 32 goals in 49 appearances in all competitions.

The young striker scored two goals in the last campaign as Celtic achieved qualification to the Champions League with wins against Lincoln Red Imps, FC Astana and Hapoel Be’er Sheva.

He then went on to bag a further three goals in the group stages with two strikes coming against Manchester City in their 3-3 draw in September, while he bagged another in a 1-1 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach in November.

However, he was unable to stop Celtic from crashing out at the group stage after failing to win any of their six group matches and the club will now be hoping to go further in the next campaign.
