Jeffrey Schlupp could be on the move again this summer, with his future at Celtic still not settled. The 32-year-old defender joined Celtic on loan from Crystal Palace in January and played 18 times as the Hoops won the league title.

Crystal Palace have now confirmed that Schlupp will leave the club when his contract ends next month. He has spent over eight years at the London club but is now free to sign for a new team.

Celtic are thinking about making his move permanent. Schlupp added experience and depth to the squad, and Brendan Rodgers was reportedly happy with his efforts. However, the Hoops have not made a final decision yet.

Reports from England say Celtic will face competition to sign him. Queens Park Rangers and Millwall, both playing in the English Championship, are said to be interested by London World. Coventry City could also try to sign him after failing to get him on loan in January.

Schlupp can play in different positions at the back, which makes him a useful option for any team. With Celtic looking to improve their squad for next season, signing a player like Schlupp on a free could be a smart move. But the club need to act quickly if they want to keep him, as other clubs are ready to make their move.

It now depends on whether Celtic see him as part of their plans. The summer transfer window is close, and the race to sign Schlupp is heating up.

Fans will be watching to see if the defender will return to Celtic Park or head back to England for the next stage of his career.

Schlupp didn’t exactly stand out during his loan spell, ultimately falling behind Greg Taylor in the pecking order. With his boyhood club Leicester City also said to be interested, that may sway him into returning to the Foxes.
