Manager Rogers, who is currently training in Portugal for the preseason, left a hint about the future of striker Yang Hyun-joon and midfielder Kwon Hyuk-kyu in an interview with local media on the 17th (Korea time).
First of all, Rodgers said of Yang Hyun-joon, `Some teams are interested. But Yang hinted at the possibility of staying, saying, "Our good squad player."
Yang Hyun-joon, a former member of the K League 1 Young Player Award and transferred to Celtic from Gangwon in 2023, is currently connected to English championship clubs such as Birmingham City and Norwich City, as well as Bulgaria's Legia Warsaw.
Yang Hyun-joon scored six goals and six assists in 34 games while wearing a Celtic uniform in the 2024-2025 season. He took the lead in Celtic's Scottish Premiership win with his 'Special Joker'.
Rogers' expression of 'squad player' contains a plan to consistently use Yang Hyun-joon as a joker right now.
Yang Min-hyuk replaced him in the 21st minute of the second half in a friendly match against Sporting CP on the 17th and played for about 24 minutes. The team won 2-0.
On the other hand, Kwon Hyukkyu is included in the list
Manager Rogers classified Kwon Hyuk-kyu as a player to leave. "Kwon is in a difficult position in the competition, so it looks like he's going to look for another club."
Busan native Kwon Hyuk-kyu moved to Celtic in 2023 and was looking forward to it, but he failed to take the lead and played on loan at St. Mirren in 2024 and Hibernian last season.
Kwon Hyuk-kyu has yet to make his official debut.
Yang Hyun-joon and Kwon Hyuk-kyu, who are in the same period as him, are under contract with Celtic until June 2028.
