“Celtic’s Lagerbielke Faces January Exit Amidst Managerial Doubts: Rodgers’ Alleged Disfavor Sparks Transfer Speculation”

Gustaf Lagerbielke’s tenure at Celtic has been marked by uncertainty, despite his summer arrival.

In December, Lagerbielke’s pivotal Champions League goal sparked

speculation that it could be a turning point for the center-back.

However, Brendan Rodgers’ recent choices suggest otherwise.

According to Andy Walker, Lagerbielke, a £3 million signing, is likely

to depart Parkhead in the January transfer window due to Rodgers’ apparent lack of preference for him.

Lagerbielke has seen limited action this season, accumulating only 571 minutes on the field, with his last start dating back to September.

While Lagerbielke may argue that he hasn’t been given a fair opportunity, his performances, particularly in the win at Ibrox, have not been outstanding. Serie A clubs are reportedly expressing interest in acquiring him.

Despite no major departures from Celtic thus far, Walker anticipates Lagerbielke’s potential departure.

Reflecting on Lagerbielke’s situation, Walker mentioned the memorable UCL goal but emphasized Rodgers’ apparent reluctance to favor the player.

There is speculation about Rodgers’ involvement in Lagerbielke’s signing and a possible defensive addition for Celtic before the transfer window closes.

Despite injuries, Lagerbielke couldn’t secure a starting spot or even earn bench minutes in the recent Scottish Cup progression.

As Celtic resumes play after the winter break, the hope is for an upward trajectory in team performance, building on the positive results leading up to the break.
