Brendan Rodgers provides a tantalizing Celtic transfer update by discussing the future of a key player in the context of Bundesliga ‘interest.’

In the January transfer window, Bayer Leverkusen, a club with a significant budget, has been associated with a Celtic defender.

Brendan Rodgers has revealed that he “hopes” Celtic are on the brink of uncovering another hidden treasure to follow in the footsteps of Nicolas Kuhn when the January transfer window opens in less than 48 hours.

On Sunday, the Hoops won 4-0 at home against St Johnstone, the bottom team in the Premiership.

This victory extended their lead at the summit to 14 points as they enter the New Year, following Rangers’ 2-2 draw against Motherwell.Rodgers selected to rotate his squad once more, with one eye already on the January 2 Old Firm derby at Ibrox.

However, transfer interest has begun to mount in one defensive mainstay, with Cameron Carter-Vickers emerging on the radar of Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen.After learning of the reported interest from Leverkusen, Rodgers was asked if CCV was a player he would be eager to retain in January.

He confessed, “Listen, I haven’t seen anything of that to be honest.” No, I believe our objective is to enhance our roster. I anticipate that there will be considerable interest in all of our players, and there will be a lot of speculation and gossip.

“In all honesty, I have no need to express myself.” There is no need for me to express myself. I simply unwind and collaborate with the athletes, with the objective of enhancing the squad.

I am not making any commitments that I am aware you would adore me to make, as I am aware that whatever happens, you will kill me and end the journey.

“My current priority is the development of our existing players and the enhancement of our squad. This has arisen.”Upon acquiring winger Nicolas Kuhn from Rapid Vienna in January of last year, Celtic struck fortunate. Kuhn has since become a fan favorite this season.

Rodgers was asked whether he was on the brink of implementing a similar strategy in the forthcoming window, and he responded, “We hope so.” I believe that I have a natural inclination to incorporate goals into my teams in January, as it allows me to inject a sense of freshness and menace into the squad.

We were able to accomplish this last January with the assistance of Nicolas Kuhn and Adam Idah, which was a tremendous success for us. We will endeavor to replicate this approach.

However, I believe it would be more beneficial to evaluate our current situation in comparison to where we were at this time last year, 12 months later. We are currently in a favorable position; however, we are committed to continuing to enhance our performance. We are optimistic that we will be able to achieve this goal.
