Scott McKenna has been linked to Celtic over the past year.
Reported Celtic target Scott McKenna has told The Scottish Sun that he could leave Aberdeen if he wins the Scottish Cup this season.
McKenna has been heavily linked with a move to Celtic over the past year.
According to The Record last year, the Dons will be asking for around £10 million for the young centre-back, also linked to Aston Villa.
The 22-year-old comes up against his potential suitors in a Scottish Cup semi-final on Sunday.
And McKenna hints that winning the competition could see him leave Pittodrie.
He told The Scottish Sun: “I don’t know when I’ll move on from Aberdeen but I want to make sure when I do, I’ve moved on from a successful team.
“I don’t want to be known for being part of the generation who came after the League Cup winners who didn’t really achieve anything. If I’m going to leave Aberdeen, I want to do it with a Scottish Cup.”
It’s imperative that Celtic sign a few top-class central defenders this summer. Dedryck Boyata looks set to leave on a Bosman, while Filip Benkovic could return to parent club Leicester City.
That would leave the Bhoys with Kristoffer Ajer, Jack Hendry and Jozo Simunovic as centre-back options.
