Cracovia boss Murat Colak has clarified the club’s stance on Celtic target Oskar Wojcik.
Reports in Poland revealed Celtic’s interest in Wojcik back in April, with the Hoops reportedly having failed to sign the defender in January.
Since then, the rumour hasn’t gone anywhere. Wojcik has admitted that he has a decision to make, with the Hoops not the only interested party.
His manager has confirmed that several offers have already arrived for the defender.
How would your Celtic defence look next season?
Cracovia boss: We’ll consider Oskar Wojcik bids
Colak said of Wojcik, via Polish outlet Weszlo: “Wojcik is a fantastic player for us, and we support him very much.
“I won’t deny that there’s a lot of interest in him. He’s a player with enormous potential.

“He’s in his prime. We’ve had some very good offers for him since the winter.
“We want to be fair to him. If a great offer comes in, one that’s good for both the club and Oskar, we’ll definitely consider it.”
Wojcik has just risen even further in profile by making his senior international debut for Poland in a friendly against Ukraine.
His club finished 13th in the Ekstraklasa this season. Until the current campaign, he hadn’t played at any notable senior level.
After failing in their January bid, the Hoops did complete the signing of a central defender before the end of the window in the shape of Benjamin Arthur on loan from Brentford.
The 20-year-old was largely a back-up player, with Liam Scales and Auston Trusty remaining Martin O’Neill’s first-choice pairing.
Ahead of the summer window, Wojcik’s price has only risen. Serie A sides Torino, Fiorentina, and Bologna are all reportedly in the fray.
Coventry City are also interested after securing promotion to the Premier League under Frank Lampard, while Brondby have also failed in previous attempts to sign him.

Defenders linked with moves to Celtic
Wojcik is one of a handful of central defenders linked with Celtic in recent months.
Zinedin Smajlovic is also reportedly one that Parkhead scouts like, but like Wojcik, he is wanted by a host of European clubs.
Closer to home, Luke Graham is also a target. As a left-sider, however, he doesn’t exactly have a clear path to being a starter at Celtic.
The same applies to Scott McKenna, who has reportedly been scouted extensively by Celtic this year.
