Brendan Rodgers’s Celtic reportedly want to keep hold of Scott Brown.

A recent report in The Daily Record claimed of Western Melbourne’s interest in Celtic midfielder Scott Brown.

It was reported that the Australian club will offer Brown a three-year contract next week.

Celtic, though, do not want Brown to leave, according to The Scottish Sun, with manager Brendan Rodgers having sanctioned a two-year deal for the former Scotland international midfielder.

“The offer includes the promise of a coaching role at the end of it,” adds the report in The Scottish Sun.

The Scottish Sun, though, has also claimed that Western Melbourne could be willing to pay Brown twice the salary he is earning at Celtic at the moment.

Big decision

Brown is one of the best and most combative midfielders in the Scottish Premiership and is a key figure in the current Celtic team.

The 33-year-old is a serial winner, who has won the Scottish Premiership eight times, the Scottish Cup on four occasions and the Scottish League Cup five times.

It is quite a big decision from Brown on whether to stay at Celtic or move to Australia to play for Western Melbourne.
