The towering Leicester City defender would be loved back at Celtic by fans.
Celtic loanee Filip Benkovic has told The Scottish Sun that he doesn’t know where he’ll be next season.
The Croatian centre-back is expected to leave Parkhead and return to parent club Leicester City this summer.
But Foxes boss Brendan Rodgers – who brought Benkovic to Glasgow last summer – said earlier this month that he wouldn’t be adverse to sending him back to Celtic, if he was to loan him out [Daily Record].
A lot of Hoops fans would love the 21-year-old – who cost City some £13 million last August [Sky Sports] – back for another short-term stint in the Scottish Premiership.
But Benkovic told The Scottish Sun that his future is a little up in the air right now.
“I can’t talk about what club I will be at next year because nothing is known yet and might not be for some time, probably only after all my international duties this summer.
“But all I can say is that I have really enjoyed my time at Celtic, I have had some great moments here, I have a successful season, enjoyed my football and I will never regret it.”
The player himself also revealed earlier this month that interim Celtic boss Neil Lennon would want him beyond this season.
He has fallen out of favour under Lennon in recent months, with the Northern Irishman preferring to pair Jozo Simunovic and Kristoffer Ajer, but there’ll be a Dedryck Boyata-shaped hole in the squad next term and maybe, just maybe, Benkovic could fill it.
