In the midst of growing interest from Serie A clubs in Rocco Vata, Celtic has not closed the door on the possibility of the talented teenager extending his stay at Parkhead, RecordSport reports.

This development comes as a significant point of focus amid transfer speculations surrounding the Republic of Ireland under-21 international.

While Bologna, Como, and Sampdoria have shown keen interest in signing Vata, whose contract with Celtic expires in the summer, the club has maintained a position that leaves room for the young player to continue his development at Celtic.

However, despite this open door for a potential extension at Celtic, reports suggest that formal discussions regarding Vata’s future at the club have not yet taken place. This lack of reported negotiations and extremely limited playing time adds an element of uncertainty to the situation, leaving both the player and the fans in anticipation of what the future might hold.

It’s certainly going to be interesting to see how this one plays out over the coming weeks and months.
