Brendan Rodgers has vowed there is "no way" Celtic will end the January transfer window light on players as speculation grows on Alex Valle leaving the club.
The Celtic boss has insisted the club will not accept a player leaving without a replacement arriving this month as he set out the transfer window non-negotiable.
Valle has been linked with a move to Como on loan from Barcelona and having his loan at Celtic terminated.
Rodgers earlier insisted Valle is "very much still a Celtic player" and has been in training ahead of the Scottish Cup match against Kilmarnock.
The Celtic manager then vowed Celtic will only allow players to leave should a replacement be brought in as he rejected a scenario of moving ahead a player down after the transfer window.

"No, there's absolutely no way that would happen," said Rodgers when asked about moving into the second half of the season a player light. "Obviously, with Alex coming in here on loan, I make a commitment to a young player to come in and play.
"He's loved his time here. He enjoys it here. He enjoys the football. He's become a Champions League player coming to Celtic and he's in no rush to leave.
"However, if something was to change on that front, where he may not be getting the game time, then I have to be open and honest with him to let him understand this. But he knows absolutely the picture here.
"And like I said, my honesty and commitment will be with him, first and foremost, in terms of what the situation is."
