The possibility of Brendan Rodgers making a return to the Premier League is a significant talking point as his contract with Celtic approaches its conclusion at the end of the current 2025/26 season. Rodgers, who previously managed Liverpool and Leicester City in the Premier League, signed a three-year deal upon his return to Celtic in 2023.
However, reports suggest he is increasingly likely to leave Parkhead when his current deal expires, according to talkSPORT.
This speculation is fueled by several factors, including:
Lack of contract extension: Rodgers has yet to sign a new deal, with conversations about his future reportedly on hold to focus on the ongoing season.
Transfer window frustrations: Rodgers has voiced concerns about the club's transfer activity, stating a desire for greater investment to compete at a higher level, according to Football Insider.
Previous Premier League experience: Rodgers has a proven track record in the Premier League, including leading Leicester City to an FA Cup triumph and two fifth-place finishes.
While Rodgers has reiterated his commitment to seeing out his contract with Celtic and focusing on the current campaign, the ongoing uncertainty has led to speculation about potential Premier League opportunities.
Clubs like Nottingham Forest are reportedly monitoring his situation, with the possibility of a managerial vacancy opening up in the near future.
However, Rodgers has not publicly commented on any specific interest from Premier League clubs.
