Jimmy Bullard could stay at Hull City even though they will be playing in the Championship next season, according to the Tigers' head of football operations, Adam Pearson.

The former Fulham midfielder, who earns £45,000-a-week at the KC Stadium, had been linked with a season-long loan switch to Celtic.

The cash-strapped club are desperate to sell many of their high-earning players this summer, including Bullard, but Pearson has revealed that there has been no confirmed interest in the midfielder.

"We have had no enquiries from Celtic," he told the Hull Daily Mail. "At this moment in time Jimmy is part of our plans for next season and he has been included in our budget for next year.

"Jimmy has got three years left on his contract at Hull City and it's difficult to envisage anyone offering that type of deal anywhere else."

Meanwhile, Geovanni looks set to be heading to Greece as both AEK Athens and Panathinaikos are interested in securing his services even though he still has a year to run on his current deal with City.
