Diomansy KamaraThe price to make Diomansy Kamara a permanent member of the Celtic squad may be too high and they could lose out to Paris St Germain. The Senegalese striker, who moved to Parkhead on a six-month loan from Fulham in January, is still wanted by the Hoops but they are struggling to find the £2.5million which would meet the buyout clause in his contract. Two French clubs in Bordeaux and PSG are said to be willing to find the money, although the 29 year-old is hoping to persuade Fulham lower their asking price. Although he was born in Paris, Kamara has never played in the French top division, moving away from his Parisian roots at Red Star 93 to Italy and England.

Kamara said: "
PSG would be a dream for me. When you start football you always have dreams. One of mine was to play for Senegal and I have done that for almost ten years now, another would be PSG. It's close to my heart and to go from being in the stands to the pitch, with my family watching, would be a nice feeling. I'm 29 and I haven't yet played in Ligue 1 so it would nice to experience that."

Kamara was quick to pay tribute to both Celtic and Fulham, stating that he has enjoyed his time playing in Scotland, as well as stressing his good relations with Fulham boss Roy Hodgson and the board. He said: "
I have just spent six months at Celtic, a huge club. Everything went well; I played a dozen games and scored four goals. But I am still under contract at Fulham and I am going to take my time to decide where I go next. I still have good relations with the club but they are asking for three or four million Euros to sell me and for a player with one year left on his contract it's too high."
