Albian Ajeti has turned down the chance to leave Celtic this summer, according to a report.
It's said that the striker wants to see out the final year of his contract at Parkhead.
The Swiss forward penned a four-year deal when he joined Celtic in 2020 under Neil Lennon.
However, the former West Ham man, who was signed for a fee of around £5million, has failed to make any sort of impact.
He spent last season on loan at Sturm Graz, and the general consensus was that he would leave in the summer.
However, the Daily Mail states that he's keen to hang around.
It's reported that Celtic are willing to pay a percentage of his contract in order for him to leave immediately.
However, the 26-year-old wasn't willing to comply, and so will likely leave on a free next year.
Ajeti is one of a number of players on the fringes at Celtic Park, with Brendan Rodgers looking to trim his squad.
James McCarthy also has two years remaining on his deal and likewise was left at home instead of joining his teammates in Japan for the team's pre-season tour.
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou did not take too kindly to a practical joke played by a German reporter during his most recent Tottenham press conference.
The interview session was interrupted by a journalist from german holding up a Bayern Munich shirt with 'Kane 9' on the back.
Of course, the Bundesliga giants are chasing the signature of the Spurs and England captain this summer.
