Carl Starfelt opens up on Celta Vigo future amid transfer 'rumours'

Former Celtic defender Carl Starfelt has opened up on his future at Celta Vigo. 

The Swedish centre-half joined the Parkhead side in the summer of 2021 under Ange Postecoglou

Despite having some shaky moments, Starfelt remained a consistent performer at the back alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers for two successful years. 

He departed just as Brendan Rodgers returned to the club, making a somewhat surprising move to Celta Vigo in Spain's La Liga.

His future has come under the microscope of late, although Starfelt remains consistent in his desire to stay put: "I feel very comfortable at Celta Vigo," he told Fotbollskanalen

"There will always be rumours. But I have a contract for two more years after this season and, as I said, I feel very comfortable.

"I haven't spoken to my agent about it (leaving the club) at all.

"He obviously knows that I'm enjoying it very much. I focus on my football and he'll take care of the rest."

The 29-year-old has been a regular for Celta this season as they aim to make a late push for Europe. 

The club currently sit eighth in Spain's top flight, five points off a UEFA Conference League qualification spot with 10 games to go. 

Starfelt was a key player in the green and white of Celtic, yet despite recent injuries, Rodgers will be relatively pleased with his central defensive options.
