Brendan Rodgers discusses the ongoing transfer activity at Celtic, highlighting the club's efforts to strengthen the squad before the European window closes. He addresses the potential return of Kieran Tierney and the status of Alex Valle while emphasizing the importance of squad depth for both domestic and European competitions.
Brendan Rodgers admits there are several pieces to the Celtic transfer puzzle – but he insists his side won’t be left short for Europe of the second half of the season.
“He's loved his time here. He enjoys it here. He enjoys the football. He's become a Champions League player coming to Celtic. And he's in no rush to leave. However, if something was to change on that front, where he may not be getting the game time, then I have to be open and honest with him to let him understand this. But he knows absolutely the picture here. And like I said, my honesty and commitment will be with him, first and foremost, in terms of what the situation is.
“We just manage that. At this moment in time, Alex, he's very concentrated. "He's absolutely loved his time here. And he's been here and he's been a fantastic young player for us. So I'm really, really happy with that. And we'll see what evolves over the course of the rest of the window.”
