Celtic’s Scottish Premiership champion Tom Rogic has been linked with a £20million move to Premier League duo Leicester City and Southampton.
Tom Rogic’s agent has played down speculation linking Leicester City and Southampton with a move for the Celtic star this summer, speaking to The World Game.
The Sydney Morning Herald claimed on Tuesday night that the Premier League duo were hoping to sign the gifted midfielder, who looked set to become the most expensive Australian footballer of all time with his price-tag set at around £20 million.
Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers was a huge fan of Rogic during his two-and-a-half years at Parkhead, referring to the 26-year-old as his ‘magic man’, while Southampton have made a habit of signing Celtic’s star players over the years.
But Hoops fans can breathe a sigh of relief today with Rogic’s agent making it clear that a move to the Premier League is far from imminent.
“I’ve had no contact from Southampton or Leicester,” Daniel Berman said.
“Tom is on a long contract, is winning trophies, respects and loves the institution that is Celtic Football Club. For him, it’s all about the treble treble.”
Rogic, who signed a five year deal with Celtic 12 months ago, has seen his impact limited this season thanks to a serious knee injury.
But he has still contributed five goals and six assists in all competitions, helping The Hoops seal an eighth successive Scottish Premiership title.
