The salary Daniel Kelly was apparently offered a place to stay in Scotland by Celtic.
- A consistent first-team breakthrough will need to happen before Daniel Kelly, another young prospect, departs Celtic for a different team. Kelly will formally join Millwall in January, as previously announced, having already signed a pre-contract with the English Championship team.
To expedite his departure south, there is still a potential that the two clubs might reach a deal before the end of August, although it is said that add-ons and valuations are now too dissimilar.
Kelly had one foot out the door for some time, as Brendan Rodgers had already disclosed that he was no longer in his first-team plans following the rejection of a contract.
Regarding the young midfielder, what was the nature of the contract and what kind of future did Celtic plan for him?
The Daily Record reports that Celtic tabled a salary of £5,000-a-week for the 18-year-old which is a significant offer for a new Academy graduate.
In order to give him consistent week-to-week football, it’s rumoured that the Bhoys also intended to encourage him to pursue a development loan for the year.
The aforementioned statement aligns with Rodgers’ remarks from last month: “The club has once again extended an extremely attractive contract to Daniel, who is a young player.” A deal that would enable him to play, perform, and develop with the first team because he still has a lot of developing to do.
