Celtic are actively working to secure the future of Rocco Vata whose current contract is set to expire this summer.
The young player, a Republic of Ireland under-21 international, has been offered a new four-year deal by the Scottish Premiership leaders, although discussions between the two parties are still ongoing.
Vata’s ascent into the Celtic first team’s periphery has been marked by notable achievements this season, including making his first appearance under Brendan Rodgers and scoring his first senior goal during a Scottish Cup tie against Buckie Thistle. His performances have earned him a spot on Celtic’s bench in subsequent matchday squads.
Reports have linked Vata with a potential move to Italy, where a switch would necessitate compensation for Celtic due to the player’s age and development status at the club. Despite this interest, Celtic are eager to retain the young talent, viewing him as a valuable asset for the club’s future.
