Serie a Club Atalanta would have contacted the representatives of an “excellent” Celtic player and the hoops themselves.
Rodgers promises a summer busy in Celtic
The hoops have had another triumphant season, winning the title of Scottish Premiership and also having the chance to seal the glory of the Scottish Cup in the final against Aberdeen on Saturday, while Brendan Rodgers seeks to add to his trophy in Parkhead.
This is not the time for anyone from Celtic to rest on their laurels, however, with the Rangers who should name a new manager this summer and seek to fill the ditch at the top, and Rodgers explained how he expects the summer to be occupied.
“Yes, think about it. Again, we also have to look at and adapt to situations. We all know well, here, there is a model of trading of players, which means that we will probably get offers for some of our players in summer. And if it happens, then we must be flexible and to have adapted to that. in high quality, but you might only have.
Chelsea midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was linked to a summer move to Celtic, being considered a possible replacement for Arne Engels, which was supported to seal a passage to Atalanta at the end of the season. Now, a new update has appeared concerning the Hoops man.
According to Tutorial [via Sport Witness]Atalanta established a “significant contact” with Celtic Ace Engels during a summer move to the club, as well as with the hoops themselves. That said, it is indicated that the Scottish champions prove to be a “nut difficult to crack” when it comes to letting it go, but there are beliefs from the winners of the Europa League from last season that an agreement can still be concluded.
Selling Engels would not be ideal for Celtic, since it is only 21 years old and has spent only a season at the club, not yet fully time to fully prove its value.
The Belgian has scored nine goals and recorded five assists in Scottish Premiership this season – he also has one and three respectively in the Champions League – and Rodgers spoke positively about him earlier in the countryside.
“He really appreciates his time here. I took him for some games just to let him see from the outside to watch in it and remove this pressure because it is a big decision and everything that accompanies him. But he was excellent in training and he will only improve.”
But in the end, if Engels decides that he wants a new challenge, there is no need to keep an unhappy player, the well -conscious manager of the surgery required to compete in Europe next season.
