The Canadian international has been linked with a move to Glasgow since before the World Cup.
But they face competition from Belgian side Genk, who made a £3.5 million bid for the 22-year-old this week, and from former Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou's Toulouse side, who also reportedly made a £2.5 million offer.
Sigur helped the Croatian side to an extra-time win over Rakow Czestochowa in the Europa Conference League play-off this week.
