Oh, 23, joined Celtic for around £2.5million in January 2023 and could rake in a similar fee.

Belgians Genk have moved to the front of the queue to sign him after opening talks.

But there is also interest from elsewhere in Europe for the South Korean cap.

Oh barely featured in the second half of the season and with Celtic chasing a permanent deal for Norwich City’s Adam Idah, he will be allowed to move on.
