The writing has perhaps been on the wall regarding Greg Taylor’s Celtic future beyond this summer.

The defender’s contract expires at the end of the season after five years in Glasgow.

Brendan Rodgers made it clear he hopes to keep Taylor with discussions over a new deal yet to take place in any great detail.

Taylor has not committed to the Hoops yet despite Rodgers’ hopes and that has left some fans questioning whether or not the left-back will still be a Celtic player come the 2025/6 campaign.

The Greenock-born player can talk with clubs in January about a pre-contract ahead of the summer and one club have already expressed an interest in his services.

67 Hail Hail understands Dinamo Zagreb are indeed interested in Taylor amid swirling social media reports from earlier this morning.

Dinamo Zagreb hope to sign Greg Taylor in January

It was claimed the Croatian giants – who played against Celts in the Champions League this season in a goalless draw – were keen to bring Taylor to their club.

We understand Dinamo are hoping Celtic will sell Taylor in January to avoid having to wait until the summer.

However they are also understood to have other options at left-back should the Scottish champions refuse to give up on the Scotland cap.

The club were urged to deal in the Celtic defender by club hero Chris Sutton but, as yet, there has been nothing signed.

Taylor could be replaced by Kieran Tierney from Arsenal

And that comes amid Celtic’s desire to bring Kieran Tierney back to Glasgow on a loan deal in the coming weeks.

Arsenal have told KT they would not be extending his deal despite having the option to do so and that triggered a conversation between Rodgers and the player with the boss making his thoughts on the situation clear.

Taylor would likely play second fiddle to Tierney despite the 27-year-old being the stalwart at the back for Rodgers and for Celtic in recent seasons.

Alex Valle appeared to hint that he would go nowhere despite recent reports claiming he could be recalled by Barcelona.
