Callum McGregor has dismissed the idea of a move to join his former manager Brendan Rodgers at Saudi Pro League club Al-Qadsiah, stating that he is staying where he is.

It was stated that there has been no need to speak to Callum McGregor regarding rumours of interest from Saudi Arabia and that he loves his situation at Celtic. It was also stated that if he were to leave in this transfer window, it would be a major shock and disappointment.

Callum McGregor has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and it is believed that Brendan Rodgers is keen on signing him for Al-Qadsiah. Former Man City financial adviser Stefan Borson told Football Insider that McGregor could earn up to four times his current salary at Celtic. Borson said that if the player wants to go and the fee is right for Celtic, that would not be a challenge for the Saudi club. He also revealed a potential tax issue for players moving to Saudi, stating that a player has to stay out of the country for a period of at least two years to be clear on the tax, which is not straightforward. Additionally, former Aberdeen CEO Keith Wyness told Football Insider he expects McGregor to complete a move to Saudi following Rodgers’s appointment.

It is reported that Brendan Rodgers is keen to bring Callum McGregor to Al-Qadsiah in January. Peter Grant believes the decision on a potential move will ultimately be made by McGregor. Grant stated that if McGregor receives an offer of a very large amount of money, he might prefer to wait until the summer should he decide to leave.
