Riordan is seeking a move away from Celtic after growing increasingly frustrated with his lack of first-team opportunities.
Riordan expressed his desire to find a new club last week and the news has alerted a number of clubs to the forward's possible availability.
Celtic are thought to be willing to listen to offers for Riordan as Gordon Strachan says he does not want unsettled players at the club.
Lokomotiv and Nurnberg have held a long-term interest in Riordan and monitored his development during his time at Hibernian, according to Skysports.com.
The duo could now rekindle their interest in the talented forward and make a move for his signature when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
