Shocking: Star Player Set to Leave Celtic FC Amid Contract Dispute
Celtic FC fans have been rocked by reports that midfield maestro Reo Hatate is pushing for an exit in the upcoming transfer window. Sources close to the player claim he has become frustrated with stalled contract negotiations and is eyeing a move to a top European league.
Hatate, who has been pivotal to Celtic’s success with his creativity and tireless work rate, is reportedly attracting interest from clubs in the English Premier League and Serie A. Among the rumored suitors are Brighton and Hove Albion, who see the Japanese international as a perfect fit for their dynamic midfield, and Napoli, who are looking for reinforcements after a shaky domestic start.
The player’s current deal runs until 2026, but insiders suggest he feels undervalued despite his standout performances. “Reo wants to compete at the highest level, and he’s not sure Celtic’s ambitions align with his personal goals,” an anonymous source revealed.
Celtic’s management now faces a dilemma: hold onto one of their most talented players or cash in to avoid dressing room unrest. Fans have taken to social media, pleading with the club to resolve the situation and ensure Hatate remains in green and white.
Could this be the end of Reo Hatate’s Celtic journey? The January transfer window will hold the answer.
