CELTIC are weighing up a January move for Aberdeenās top scorer Bojan Miovski.
Brendan Rodgers has had the North Macedonia star watched in every domestic game this season.
But the Premiership leaders will have to stump up a record sum to land the striker from Pittodrie.
SunSport understands Dons will demand the highest-ever fee between two Scottish clubs.
They value Miovski, 24, at more than the £4.4million Celts paid Hibs for Scott Brown in 2007.
And while they accept Miovski will leave the Dons eventually, they are reluctant to lose him when the window opens.
Rodgers is an admirer of the hitman, who scored 18 goals last season and already has 11 to his name this term.
The Parkhead boss is desperate to bolster his attacking options for the second half of the season.
The Hoops boss could potentially lose Japan duo Kyogo Furuhashi and Daizen Maeda, plus South Koreaās Oh Hyeon-gyu, for a month during the Asian Cup over January and February.
Miovski fits the bill and Celtic have been scouting him intensely.
Rangers have also been keeping tabs on the prolific marksman, but itās unlikely they would have the finances to take their interest further.
A number of English clubs are also tracking Miovski, a bargain £650,000 buy from MTK Budapest 18 months ago.
Southampton were keen in the summer and other admirers from the Championship have now joined the queue.
The 17-cap striker started North Macedoniaās 1-1 draw with England last month, winning the penalty that earned them their point.
Speaking in May, chief executive Alan Burrows said: āWe are under no pressure to sell.
āIf anybody wants to take our best assets away from us, particularly ones on long contracts, we are going to be very difficult to deal with.ā
