The London club were linked with the midfielder before they signed Ki's South Korea team-mate, Park Ji-Sung, from Manchester United in a £2m transfer.
Fernandes said: "It was clear our target this time was Park and not Ki, but Ki is a very good player and we are very aware of him. He is a player we will be watching and monitoring closely." The 23-year-old, who claimed he would like to play in Spain when he leaves Celtic, is currently back home preparing for the Olympic tournament.
