Arne engels transfer stance made clear amid serie a interest

IT'S YOUR LATEST UPDATE ON ALL THINGS CELTIC AS TRANSFER SEASON GETS READY TO KICK INTO LIFE AT PARKHEAD 10:20, 21 May 2025Updated 12:02, 21 May 2025 Arne Engels is reportedly the

subject of significant Serie A interest after his debut campaign at Celtic. But _RECORD SPORT_ understands the Premiership champions are in no rush to sell the Belgian international. Both

the player and club expect to stick together even if long-term admirers Atalanta turn their admiring glances into sustained interest in the coming weeks. Engels has one final game of the

campaign to come as he looks to end what has been a whirlwind 12 months in Glasgow since his record breaking transfer last summer by lifting the Scottish Cup to complete a domestic Treble.

The Belgium cap has impressed and reports out of Italy have suggested the Champions League bound Bergamo outfit - who the Hoops faced last year - have made 'concrete attempts' to

snap up the 21-year-old. Celtic invested £11million to land Engels from Augsburg - so it would take a massive fee for Brendan Rodgers and Co to even consider doing any sort of business. Reo

Hatate is another who has attracted interest from Italy with Udinese said to be interested. Elsewhere, Greg Taylor's future still remains up in the air despite numerous public pleas

from Rodgers over his future. The Hoops gaffer has made no secret of his desire to keep the left-back at Parkhead long term but the weekend clash with Aberdeen brings the curtain down on the

champions' campaign and as things stand on Taylor's career in Glasgow's east end. His contract expires in a matter of days and there has been no update either way on what

happens next. Jeffrey Schlupp's loan also comes to an end following the Hampden game and with Kieran Tierney coming back, any attempts to bring him back full-time could come down to

whether Taylor sticks or twists. Rodgers has already hinted at summer activity as he stated: "At a big club, you can't stand still. You always have to be prepared and think into

the future as well as the present." Meanwhile, one former Hoops defender will be on the move this summer. Ange Postecoglou brought in Moritz Jenz during his time in charge on loan

before he later moved on. He's spent the current campaign on loan at Mainz in Germany but will be leaving with Serie A a potential destination according to transfer guru Fabrizio

Romano. Article continues below He states several clubs are keen on his services in the upcoming window and 'he's expected to try a new chapter'.
