Anthony Joseph is reporting that Celtic and Lecce are unable to agree a loan fee for Gus Lagerbielke to join the Italian side.
The defender only joined Celtic in August from Elfsborg but it seems certain that he will be moving out this month after appearing to drop down to fifth choice central defender under Brendan Rodgers.
Lagerbielke came off the bench to secure Celtic’s first home win in the Champions League for a decade with a header against Feyenoord a month ago but since that match both Stephen Welsh and Maik Nawrocki have started matches in the absence of Cameron Carter-Vickers.
With Liam Scales starring every match since the end of August the hoops have a surplus of central defenders when everyone is fit and available.
Lagerbielke did sign a five year contract when he moved from Elfsborg at the start of the season but with a loan deal being discussed his Celtic prospects appear bleak.
