According to The Scottish Sun, Liam Morrison could leave Celtic for German club Hoffenheim in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that the young defender, who is highly rated and a massive future ahead of him, is wanted by Hoffenheim, who are sixth in the Bundesliga table at the moment and are challenging for a Champions League spot.

The report has also claimed of interest in the 16-year-old from English clubs, and that Celtic are desperate to secure him on a long-term contract.

According to The Scottish Sun, former Celtic talent-spotter and agent David Moss is advising the teenager, and that the Hoops will receive “modest compensation”.

Celtic stay?

Morrison is a very promising young central defender, and it is not hard to understand why Celtic are reportedly keen on keeping him at Celtic Park in the long run.

The Glasgow giants have an ageing backline, and players like Morrison are the future of the club, who are on course to winning the Scottish Premiership title for the eighth season in a row.
