Brendan Rodgers Optimistic About Greg Taylor’s Future Amid Transfer Speculations
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has expressed a strong belief in the possibility of securing a new contract for left-back Greg Taylor, despite growing speculation linking the 27-year-old to a move to Dinamo Zagreb. Taylor’s current contract is set to expire at the end of the season, allowing him to negotiate with potential suitors. Reports suggest that Taylor may have already agreed to terms with the Croatian club, managed by Italian legend Fabio Cannavaro.
Rodgers, however, remains optimistic about retaining Taylor, emphasizing that there is ample room in the squad for both Taylor and the anticipated return of Kieran Tierney from Arsenal. He stated, “I think there is room for both of them. Greg has been excellent for us, and Kieran’s return is something we are looking forward to.”
The potential arrival of Tierney, a former Celtic player, has added complexity to Taylor’s contract situation. Rodgers acknowledges that this development may influence Taylor’s decision regarding a new deal. Despite this, he remains hopeful that Taylor will choose to stay at Celtic, highlighting the importance of having depth and quality in the squad.
As the transfer window progresses, the situation remains fluid. Rodgers’ “gut feeling” suggests that a resolution is possible, but the final outcome will depend on negotiations between Taylor, the club, and any interested parties. Celtic supporters will be keenly watching this development, as Taylor has been a key figure in the team’s defensive lineup.
