They appear to be bigger fans of the Greek striker than Neil Lennon and the Bhoys could be willing to entertain offers in the region of £2million for the 25-year-old marksman, who has scored 10 SPL goals this season. The ex-Manchester City man has one year left on his Parkhead contract, meaning he would be a free agent next summer.

Palermo's sporting director Walter Sabatini is a big fan of Samaras, but stopped short of confirming the club's intentions. He said: "Palermo for Samaras? He has been at many clubs but is a good player. Samaras is a strong player, who has improved a lot playing in different football environments. He certainly has a lot of qualities."
