Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers wants Tom Rogic to remain at Celtic Park.
The former Liverpool and Swansea City manager has stated that he wants the Australia international attacking midfielder to remain at Celtic.
Rodgers, though, has admitted that the 25-year-old’s decision on his future may depends on factors other than football.
Rodgers told The Telegraph about Rogic: “I’ve spoken to Tom a number of times and I am quite relaxed on it really. Of course, he knows I’d love him to be here but, rightly so, he has to think of everything.
“If it was purely football, of course, he loves the club. He’s been here over five years now and he knows what he has here but his next contract is a big decision for him and his wife.
“They are both Australian, so they need to have a think about where they want to be. I know they love being here. He knows how much I rate him as a player and he has a World Cup to concentrate on, so we’ll see what happens after that.”
Quality footballer
Rogic has been on the books of Celtic since January 2013 when he joined from Central Coast Mariners and has a contract with the Glasgow giants until the summer of 2019, according to Transfermarkt.com.
A report in The World Game SBS in February 2018 claimed that the attacking midfielder had turned down a new contract offer from the Glasgow giants, with the Hoops reported to be valuing him at $6 million (£3.3m).
The 25-year-old has scored four goals and provided four assists in 17 Scottish Premiership appearances for Celtic so far this season, according to Transfermarkt.co.uk.
Celtic will win the Scottish Premiership title today if they defeat Old Firm rivals Rangers at Celtic Park this afternoon.
