“Yes, we are aware of the interest from Celtic,” d’Avray told IOL.
“The club is still waiting for the official offer. I can also confirm that they did send a scout to watch Rivaldo.
“We don’t intend to stand in his way. If the offer is presented on the table, I have no doubt that the club will listen to it. At the moment, there is no concrete offer that I know of.”
Coetzee, who is said to be training with the Ajax reserve team, is expected to miss Saturday’s clash against Golden Arrows at Cape Town Stadium.
The 20-year-old defender has made it clear he wants out of the club.
