Odsonne Edouard and Kristoffer Ajer are yet to speak to new manager Ange Postecoglou as everyone waits for some clarification on their contract situation.
The two players are expected to leave in the summer as they come into the final year of their deals at Parkhead.
However, Postecoglou confirmed this afternoon that he is yet to speak to the duo about their future, stating that the club will decide in their best interests.
“I haven’t spoken to either of them yet. So, again I’ll wait until I speak to both of them.
“They have both just arrived in the country, as have I. I’ll have discussions with them. We will make the best decisions for the football club.
That’s where my interest lies. For me, the individuals within that, I totally understand and respect their own wishes, but I’ll always make decisions that have the best interests of this football club because that is my responsibility.”
As previously mentioned, it was always expected that the two players would be departing this summer.
Comments from the Norweigan defender also confirmed this a couple of months ago.
It is good to hear, though, that Ange and the club will stand firm when it comes to looking out for our best interests.
With the duo still to have a conversation with the former Australian national team coach, of course, you can never say never with these sort of things in football.
However, the most likely outcome is that they won’t be able to leave unless the offer is right for the club going forward.
