Brendan Rodgers has suggested that he's none the wiser to the rumours in the Spanish media surrounding on-loan Celtic defender Alex Valle.
Valle, 20, has impressed since arriving at the Scottish Premiership giants from Barcelona over the summer. He's made nine appearances so far - including starring in the UEFA Champions League.
A report by El Nacional on Tuesday had indicated that his parent club were working on cancelling the season-long loan deal in January, even though it would mean forking out compensation.
Yet, asked if it was a situation that he was aware of, the Celtic manager indicated to Sky Sports that the story was very much news to him.
"Not that I'm aware of, no," he revealed. "Nobody has told me any different.
"I suppose we are getting close to the stage where rumours and gossip, and everything kicks in leading into January.
"But I know that Alex has really enjoyed his time here, and both on and off the pitch, he's obviously a very important player for us. So, we wouldn't want to lose him.
"I think the experience that he's getting here both in the Champions League and domestic football, he's really enjoying his time here."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
