Freddy Adu's agent is expected to speak to Celtic representatives next week which might pave the way for the young American to move to Glasgow.
The 18-year-old USA midfielder, currently starring in the Under-20 World Cup in Canada, could meet Parkhead officials in Denver next Thursday after the Scottish champions jet in for a friendly against a Major League Soccer All-Stars select team.
Richard Motzkin, Adu's LA-based agent, told the Scottish Sun: "Celtic are coming out for the MLS All-Stars game next week and I'll be there.
"Freddy could be there if the USA get knocked out of the World Cup but for the country's sake I hope that's not the case.
"My sole reason for going to the All-Stars game isn't to speak to Celtic - but some might say it would be a good time to talk if both parties are in the same place.
"Freddy has always said he wants to go Europe at some stage in his career and any player would have a lot of respect for a club like Celtic.
"They are the Scottish champions and they've done well in the Champions League.
"Of course they would interest someone like Freddy."
