Celtic keeper Boruc: I'm priced too high for Europe's elite

Artur Boruc expects to start the new season at Celtic because clubs will not pay £15million for a goalkeeper.

The Polish international enjoyed an excellent Euro 2008, despite his country's first-round exit, and has been linked with a big-money exit from Parkhead.

AC Milan manager Carlo Ancelotti admitted earlier this month, however, that the Italians couldn't afford the fee it would take to move Boruc from Celtic.

And the 28-year-old, who signed a contract until 2011 in January, doesn't anticipate making a move.

He said: 'I do not know if any club wants me. The top 10 clubs in the world are prepared to pay £15m for a striker, but not a goalkeeper.'

Speaking with a Polish newspaper, Boruc then admitted it had been a great couple of months for him.

'I played in the Champions League and won the Scottish title for the third season in a row,' he said. 'I enjoyed the experience of Euro 2008, although I was disappointed we didn't make the quarter-final.

'But, best of all, my son was born.'
