Leicester City are reportedly keen on Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers.
According to the Daily Mail, Leicester City are now planning to bring forward their move for Celtic’s Brendan Rodgers, believing they can land him immediately.
The Foxes were comprehensively beaten by Crystal Palace on Saturday evening, with the 4-1 home defeat proving to be Claude Puel’s final game in charge.
Puel has been under pressure for months, and his spell at the King Power Stadium has ended, with Mike Stowell and Adam Sadler taking temporary charge.
The Daily Mail now note that Leicester are set to abandon their plans to bring in an interim boss until the end of the season, when they hoped to land Brendan Rodgers.
Instead, Leicester are preparing a move to lure Rodgers away from Celtic immediately, and believe they can tempt Rodgers into a move now.
Rodgers is understood to be re-evaluating his plans to stay at Celtic at least until the end of the season, and could be open to starting at Leicester straight away.
That would be a huge blow to Celtic, and a bold decision from Rodgers. The Northern Irishman would be able to become an absolute club legend by securing a third straight domestic treble, which is a real possibility this season.
Exiting now would leave the job half-finished, and even if he does want a Premier League return, at least waiting until the end of the season, with more trophies in the Celtic cabinet, would be the right way to do it.
