Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has made the tough decision not to include young talent Daniel Kelly in his pre-season plans due to the player’s indecision on a new contract. Kelly, who impressed last season with six substitute appearances and a goal against Dundee, has not yet committed to extending his contract with the club which expires at the end of the year.
Rodgers, who sees potential in Kelly, has offered him a promising contract to continue his development with the first team. However, without a signed agreement, Rodgers will not progress with the player’s development during the summer months. Despite interest from European clubs, including Bayer Leverkusen, it seems Kelly’s future at Celtic is uncertain.
Rodgers expressed disappointment over the situation, emphasizing the great opportunities awaiting Kelly at Celtic if he were to commit. While the club has offered what they consider to be a fair deal, the decision ultimately lies with the player. Rodgers’s firm stance reflects his belief in prioritizing commitment and loyalty from his players.
