Get link when clicked in an image

This is the image where, when clicked, user is redirected to another page. 

<div class="lis_el          " id="cel_lisimg_18755" onclick="lis_mostrarficha(0);">

    <div class="lis_elc ">
        <div class="lis_eloverflow">
            <div class="lis_elc_img">
                <div class="lis_elc_imgc"><img class="lis_elc_img_img" id="lisimg_18755" src="https://sgfm.elcorteingles.es/SGFM/dctm/MEDIA03/201705/29/0280282401564764342_1_.jpg">
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="lis_info  ">

                            <div class="clear"></div>

            <div class="lis_info_precio">


                            5<span class="lis_info_preciop">,99€</span>

            </div>
            <h2>Camiseta flame</h2>
            <div class="lis_mascol displaynone" id="lis_mascol18755" style="display: block;">+ Colores</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

I'm tryin to obtain that link using Selenium in Python, but I don't know where I can obtain it from. I noticed this however, which I suppose this function does the redirection:

onclick="lis_mostrarficha(0);

I don't have much experience in web developing so I'm not sure how I can obtain that link without clicking, as this would take too long.

Thanks,

You will have to perform the click event in this case because the HTML does not contain the URL linked to the image -- it calls a script. What can be done is to use Selenium to click the element that contains the onclick event.

from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium import webdriver

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--disable-infobars')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options)

div = find_element_by_id('cel_lisimg_18755')
div.click()

# Then wait for the page to load

# Get the URL
url = driver.current_url
print(url)  # Assumes v3 python
