The future of young Scottish talent Daniel Kelly remains a hot topic with the transfer window approaching.
His contract situation at Celtic is drawing significant attention from other clubs.
Despite rumours and speculations, Football Scotland has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur has not entered the race for Kelly’s signature, despite reports suggesting that last week they had.
Currently, Kelly is waiting for Celtic to sit down with him, after the club had delayed negotiations with him, reports Football Scotland’s Mark Hendry.
This delay occurs amidst genuine interest from other major clubs, including Manchester United. Additionally, Bayer Leverkusen has stepped up its pursuit by making a formal approach for the player who made his professional debut under Brendan Rodgers.
Despite the external interest, Kelly’s preference is clear: he wishes to remain with Celtic and sign a new deal under Brendan Rodgers’ guidance. However, the negotiations appear to be dragging, with no final agreement yet in sight.
Celtic’s management is reportedly keen on retaining Kelly, too.
The coming weeks are crucial as both the player and the club navigate through these negotiations amidst growing interest from top European clubs.
Kelly is free to speak to other clubs soon and agree to a pre-contract, with his Celtic deal expiring in the winter.
