Scottish Premiership champions Celtic could be forced to sell Tom Rogic… but Ki Sung-Yeung is available for free with his Swansea contract expiring.

Celtic are facing up to the prospect of a future without Tom Rogic.

Though somewhat injury-prone and not the most consistent member of Brendan Rodgers’ squad, few players at Celtic’s disposal can change a game on an instant like the Aussie playmaker, whose penchant for wonder-goals has earned him plenty of admirers at Parkhead.

But according to the World Game, Rogic has rejected a new contract at Celtic, with his current deal due to expire at the end of next season. Therefore, the Hoops may just be forced to cash in on Rogic amid fears that he could eventually leave for free.

Though if Rogic does leave, perhaps the best way to ease the disappointment would be to welcome a former fans favourite back to Parkhead.

According to Italian paper Corriere dello Sport, South Korean captain Ki Sung-Yeung is out of contract at Swansea City this summer and is yet to speak to the South Wales outfit about a new deal – piquing shock interest from Italian giants AC Milan.

Ki, however, was a hugely important figure across three seasons at Celtic after his 2009 move from FC Seoul for £2.1 million. It was his six goals in 30 appearances that played a major part as Neil Lennon’s side won the Scottish Premiership title in 2012 for the first time in four years.

And at 29-years-old, he would still have much to offer during a second spell in Glasgow, with his experience and ability to drive forward from central midfield perhaps making him an inspired and low cost replacement should Rogic depart.
