Slask Wroclaw sporting director Rafał Grodzicki has denied links with Celtic’s Maik Nawrocki.
The central defender has played just five minutes for the Bhoys throughout the current campaign, which came at the end of a Premier Sports Cup tie with Falkirk in September.
Signed for a hefty £4.3m from Legia Warszawa last summer, it has never seemed to work out for Nawrocki, who didn’t get an opportunity at Tannadice yesterday, even though Celtic’s two first-choice centre-halves were out injured.
According to Glasgow Times, reports in Poland last week linked Nawrocki with a move to Slask Wroclaw either on loan or a permanent basis.
Sporting Director Grodzicki, though, recently shut down such rumours: “I can assure you that we weren’t even interested in this player,” he said (Glasgow Times).
“We have many central defenders in the club and our priority for strengthening are in other positions.”
While previous links to Slask Wroclaw may be false, finding Nawrocki a new home in January is likely, for all parties, the best solution to his current predicament.
It will take a monumental injury crisis for the defender to get another opportunity in Glasgow’s east end because from the outside looking in, Brendan Rodgers doesn’t at all rate him.
Nawrocki is one of several fringe players the manager could do with offloading in January as Rodgers looks to trim his squad and eventually add some quality ahead of a crucial second half of the campaign.
