Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata has said that he wants to stay at Parkhead.
Celtic supporters do not appear best pleased that Dedryck Boyata has committed his future to the Glasgow side.
Boyata has earned mixed reviews ever since he moved to Celtic from Manchester City back in 2015, in a transfer worth £1.5 million.
The centre-back has played regularly in Brendan Rodgers’ starting line-up, but there are some concerns about him from the Parkhead crowd.
And a sizeable chunk of Celtic fans appear to hope the Belgian will move on in the summer.
Boyata has just over a year left on his contract with the Bhoys, but he has stated he has no desire to leave Parkhead.
“I am in talks and we are trying to find some sort of arrangement,” he said to the Daily Record.
“I have been talking a lot with the manager and trying to find a solution.
“I don’t want to say yes and then nothing happens later but everything is just so positive.
“I am having a great time.”
Boyata’s comments have not exactly had a unanimously popular response from Celtic supporters, who feel that he could be upgraded in the summer.
Boyata has made 38 appearances for Celtic across all competitions this season, and is expected to start in the Scottish Cup final at the weekend, when Rodgers’ side take on Motherwell at Hampden Park.
