Celtic are believed to have identified the Zimbabwean as their main transfer target for the January transfer window, as part of the plans to strengthen Serame Letsoaka's squad.
Arubi has been the number one goalkeeper at Tuks, since his arrival at the club from Dynamos of Zimbabwe in 2012.
Although the shot-stopper had his contract with Tuks renewed at the end of last season, it is believed that Celtic are willing to table an offer for him to move to Mangaung.
"Washington Arubi could make a move from Tuks to Bloemfontein Celtic in the next transfer window. The game against SuperSport United (on December 20) could be his last in Tuks' colours, if all goes according to plan.
"The negotiations between the parties involved have been ongoing. It seems like Tuks are considering selling one of the best players in the team for a high fee so that they can buy players to strengthen the team in other areas in January.
"But that won't be easy because he is a good goalkeeper. The management are not sure whether to allow the player to go or not. They are afraid of relegation. But they also need the resources to beef up the squad," a source told the Siya crew.
