The fee Celtic will need to pay to Norwich City for the sale of Adam Idah has been revealed, according to a report.
The Scottish Sun claims the Championship club has slapped a £5m price tag on the Republic of Ireland international's head.
The 23-year-old has made an impressive impact since joining the champions on loan from Norwich in January.
He's scored seven goals in 14 appearances, despite most of those coming off the bench as an understudy to No.1 frontman Kyogo.
One of his most memorable moments came against Rangers when he scored late on in what looked like a winning goal at Ibrox, only for Rabbi Matondo to cancel his strike out.
Idah has scored key goals at Fir Park and Easter Road too, though.
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Celtic will look to make the deal a permanent one this summer, although it is understood there is no set fee to buy Idah, so it's really still up to Norwich.
And with four more years on his deal at Carrow Road, it's expected that £5m will be the minimum Norwich seek for their striker.
That does depend on the level of interest in Idah, however, the same report does state that he's likely to have other Championship suitors.
It comes just weeks after former Celtic and Norwich frontman Chris Sutton claimed £3m would be enough to get the deal done.
“Adam thrives on the pressure here and has a hunger to improve," Rodgers said recently. “So we’ll assess that at the end of the season. It’s not all in our hands.”

The player himself said: “I honestly haven’t looked into what I am going to do.
“My main focus has been on finishing the season and winning as many games as possible. That’s the main target for me and the team.
“I don’t know about other players, but if I look too far ahead it can affect me on the pitch.
“I want to finish the season on a high and then see what happens.”
