The Belgian has recently returned to action after a two-month injury absence, rejoining Martin O’Neill’s squad during a crucial period of the season.
Celtic turned down a £25 million bid from Nottingham Forest in January, standing firm on their decision not to sell the player midway through the campaign.
However, interest in Engels has not faded, with Lazio now said to be weighing up a summer approach.
