Paris Saint-Germain defender Bernard Mendy said that his wish to sign for Celtic after being linked with the Glasgow club.
Celtic manager Gordon Strachan is looking for a right sided defender following the departure of Paul Telfer.
"Celtic are a good club and I would certainly consider the option of a move," mentioned the 25 year old.
"I like British football and I enjoyed my spell on loan at Bolton in season 2002-03."
Mendy's manager at PSG, former Rangers manager Paul Le Guen, would not be keen on the defender leaving however requires the money a fee would generate to revamp his squad.
"The possibility of playing in the Champions League again is extremely attractive," added Mendy.
"However, at this stage, I have not been informed of any official offer from Celtic. However, I have heard that Paris St Germain are looking for a new right back. My contract finishes in June 2008 and, whilst I am happy to remain here and and have given my all for the club until then, I must be open to offers."
Meanwhile, Celtic were linked in the Spanish media with a move for FC Barcelona forward Santiago Ezquerro along with Osasuna, AEK Athens and his old club, Athletico Bilbao.
But reports in the British press that the 30 year old is a free agent are wide of the mark.
He had hoped that the summer signing of Thierry Henry would persuade Barcelona to allow him to leave.
But, when Bilbao expressed an interest, their Spanish rivals demanded a fee, reported to be about £2 million.
And Ezquerro expects to overcome recent injury to travel to Scotland with the Barcelona team for this week's friendlies against Dundee United and Hearts.
Ezquerro previously played for Osasuna, Atletico Madrid and Mallorca before joining Bilbao.
His form there led to his transfer to Barcelona in 2005, however he was unable to establish himself as a 1st team regular.
