Brendan Rodgers comments on the future of Celtic defender Dedryck Boyata

Dedryck Boyata was keen to leave Celtic in the summer transfer window, but the Bhoys rejected offers for him and managed to retain him at the club.

The 27-year-old was reportedly wanted by Fulham and the Cottagers and were even prepared to pay as much as £12 million in transfer fees.

Boyata since then has worked hard to win back the faith of his manager and fellow teammates, and has been brilliant this season for Brendan Rodgers’s side.

The Belgium defender, who joined the club in 2015 from Manchester City, is out of contract at Celtic next summer, and Rodgers has a big decision to make.
