The teenager is out of contract in the summer but Brendan Rodgers hopes to tie him down on a long-term
Celtic has made Rocco Vata an offer for a new four-year contract, Football Scotland can confirm.
We are aware that the 18-year-old is in negotiations to sign a new contract with the Hoops, who seek to do so in order to keep potential suitors at bay.
Interested parties have put forth plans for Bologna and Como, but the Celts have not accepted any bids until their own efforts have been determined.
Football Scotland is aware that the parties are still at odds in the negotiations and that there is still more to be discussed as no agreement has been reached.
The January window ends on Thursday night, therefore the player has one more chance to sign a pre-contract elsewhere this month.
