Artur Boruc to Sevilla

[ian1964 10,486]

Artur Boruc looks to have played his last game for Celtic as Spanish giants Sevilla line up a �£2million bid for the keeper.

 

Sevilla are looking to buy a top-class replacement for veteran No.1 Andres Palop this summer and Boruc is high on their shopping list.

 

He last week agreed to be represented by top agent Struan Marshall - who also looks after Robbie Keane - and Record Sport can reveal there has been contact with Sevilla about the Pole.

 

Boruc has a year of his �£30,000-a-week contract to run at Parkhead and it will not be renewed at that level in the current financial climate.

 

That is likely to lead to his departure next month as it means the Hoops will get a transfer rather than lose him on a Bosman next year.

 

Sevilla will have a huge transfer kitty this summer as they are expected to sell Luis Fabiano for around �£17m.

 

Palop, 36, who was No. 3 keeper for Spain when they won Euro 2008, is now regarded as a liability and apologised for cost ing Sevilla their Champions League place after a howler against CSKA Moscow in the last 16.

 

Boruc - who has been at Celtic for five years - would welcome a move to La Liga but Hamburg and Olympiakos have also declared their interest.

 

It now looks increasingly likely Tuesday night's Old Firm victory was the 30-year-old's last game for Celtic as Boruc suffered two broken fingers that rule him out of Sunday's final league match of the season against Hearts.
