Celtic defender Jozo Simunovic is on a shortlist to join Lazio as a replacement for star man Stefan de Vrij.

The Bosnian is one of several stars the Italians are considering during the January transfer window, according Corriere dello Sport.

MailSport exclusively revealed Crystal Palace are eyeing an £8million move for Simunovic, but are expected to face competition from Burnley, who have been long-time admirers of the defender.

Lazio are also said to be keeping tabs on São Paulo centre-back Rodrigo Caio as de Vrij continues to be linked with the likes of Manchester City, Liverpool and Barcelona.

Simunovic hasn't featured for Celtic since the 4-0 shellacking at Hearts and boss Brendan Rodgers has admitted some of his stars could leave this month if the price is right.

The 23-year-old has made 19 appearances in all competitions this season and joined the Hoops from Dinamo Zagreb in 2015.
