Kasper Schmeichel will open contract talks with Celtic in the new year.
The keeper confirmed that a new deal will be looked at when speaking in his homeland to Danish news organisation Bold.
The 38-year-old currently has a deal with Brendan Rodgers' side until the summer but his excellent form means the Scottish Champions will surely be keen to keep him in the building.
And while Schmeichel is open to discussions, he's focused on the games ahead with a potential treble and Champions League qualification on the line.
He told Bold.dk: "It's something we'll sit down and talk about at some point in the new year. For now, I'm not thinking that far ahead. My focus is on the things that are happening here and now. There's always something big happening at a big club like Celtic.

“We have already won a cup final, we lead the league with great and entertaining football and an incredibly solid defence, which I am especially happy about. And we are in a good position in the Champions League after only one defeat in six games. It would be a great achievement to advance.
“Signing there felt like coming home football-wise. But one of the most important things for me is also to feel the approach to sport and football - to feel the mentality when it comes to how important it is to win. It's a special culture at British clubs that I grew up with, so that's why it suits me well.
“Furthermore, the atmosphere around the matches is unique. There is nothing like a full stadium in the UK, and ours is in a class of its own. There are 60,000 every time. It's a wild experience.
"Living in Glasgow and playing for Celtic is fantastic because you really feel that football means a lot to a lot of people. Everyone has a relationship and an attitude towards football. It's a gift to play football in such passionate surroundings.”
Schmeichel has been in top form during a year that has gone exceedingly well for him. From the Euros where he captained his country to winning a 100th cap, the big keeper has had a banner 2024.
He said: “When I look back at all the highlights of 2024, it almost looks like a wishlist I could have written a year ago. Personally, I feel that I have played my best year ever, in that it is my most complete year in terms of football and how I have performed.
“I feel at my best, I'm constantly developing and I have a huge appetite to play football and win. Most importantly, there have been lots of highlights with my clubs and national team. I was enormously proud to be the Denmark captain during the European Championship. It was a personal highlight of my career for me. I also reached 100 international caps in 2024. Now I'm at 111, and I'm incredibly proud of that.”
