Celtic manager Neil Lennon has stated he would be powerless to stop the sales of star duo Aiden McGeady and Artur Boruc if he received big money bids.
McGeady, 24, has been linked with a switch to Spartak Moscow, Birmingham City or Aston Villa in recent times after shining out wide for the Parkhead side. Similarly, Sevilla are rumoured to be prepared to move for Poland international Boruc.
Speaking to the press, Lennon rejected reports of receiving any bids for the players and hoped to call on them next season when he attempts to wrestle the SPL title from Rangers.
"I will have a natter with all the guys," Lennon said. "We have had enquiries but nothing concrete. Obviously Aiden is one that I would like to keep.
"He has not spoken to me at all since the end of the season. However if we get an offer that is too good to turn down we will discuss that.
"And unless we get an offer which is suitable for us and what we want to do going forward, then Artur will be here next season."
Lennon signed on as permanent manager last month after going undefeated in the league since taking over from Tony Mowbray in March. With his attention now on the transfer market, Lennon confirmed that a permanent move for Landry N'Guemo had fallen through, while loan stars Edson Braafheid and Diomansy Kamara could be retained.
"We have decided not to take the option on the fee that Nancy were looking for N'Guemo but the book is not closed on that one," Lennon added.
"Braafheid, Kamara? They are possibilities.
"We have got targets but we will try and do our business as discreetly as possible although that is not always possible here."
