Daizen Maeda leaving Celtic?

According to Celtic Way, Daizen Maeda has now indicated he is happy to remain at Celtic until July. It is possible this is so he can be selected for the Japan squad again and secure a more advantageous transfer after the World Cup.

Scott Allan stated that Daizen Maeda's performance indicates his mind is probably set on leaving, but said that Celtic are not in a position to let him go unless they acquire a quality replacement.

The Daily Record reports that there is still strong interest in the 28-year-old forward departing and he could leave after his club rejected several approaches in the last couple of windows. It is reported that Nancy will hope to convince the forward to stay.

Record Sport has revealed that Daizen Maeda is expected to leave and has given an indication about his future.

According to Record Sport, there is still strong interest in Daizen Maeda leading into the new year, and he could leave after his club rejected several approaches in recent transfer windows. Former player Charlie Mulgrew reckons that the next permanent manager could push for Maeda to stay at the club. Mulgrew concedes that if the forward is pushing for a move, he should be permitted to leave, adding that Brentford were interested in the summer alongside major interest from the Bundesliga.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Daizen Maeda could transfer in January.

Daizen Maeda spoke of his disappointment at missing out on a move in the summer transfer window. Kevin Gallacher stated that Maeda's head was turned with a summer move that did not come about and that the player would have been excited at the thought of a fresh challenge which suddenly fell through. Gallacher also stated that there was interest from other clubs who wanted Maeda in the summer, and that an exit was expected to be back on the table in the winter window.

The Daily Record reports that Brendan Rodgers admitted Daizen Maeda is struggling to get over the disappointment of missing out on a big move in the summer transfer window. The manager revealed that Maeda was very close to leaving the club and had even emptied his locker before a big move ultimately fell through.

Daizen Maeda reportedly emptied his locker on deadline day in preparation for an expected departure from Celtic. However, the club blocked the move due to indecision regarding their own striker signings. Manager Rodgers has since admitted that Maeda should have been sold.

Daizen Maeda revealed that he had requested to leave Celtic this summer.

Daily Record reports on Daizen Maeda's near transfer from Celtic, which fell through at the last minute. Daizen Maeda revealed while on international duty with Japan that he had agreed terms with another club, but Celtic were unable to find a replacement, so the exit was scrapped in the final hours of the window. There is an expectation that he will be sold in January, with interest anticipated after his strong previous season. No specific destination is mentioned in the article.

Interest in Daizen Maeda may firm up, especially after Celtic's weakened negotiating position. It would still require a substantial offer for Celtic to consider parting with him.

Celtic is in the process of drafting a new contract offer for Daizen Maeda, as he is entering the final years of his current contract. There has been little speculation about his future, but past form suggested there might be serious interest from other clubs. Celtic is keen to keep him, especially after losing other key players like Nicolas Kuhn. Brendan Rodgers, the manager, acknowledges the need to keep Maeda to build the team, and there is an intention to extend his contract to prevent a transfer.

Celtic is preparing for bids on Daizen Maeda, with an asking price of £21 million placed on the Japanese star.

Daily Record provides an update on the contract situation of Daizen Maeda at Celtic. Celtic will schedule talks with Daizen Maeda’s representatives as he is heading into the final two years of his contract.

The Daily Record reports on Daizen Maeda's decision to delay contract talks with Celtic to concentrate on securing another Treble. Daizen Maeda is putting contract talks on hold to focus on winning another Treble with Celtic. Brendan Rodgers wants to extend his contract beyond 2027, but Maeda hinted he will wait to see what offers come in the summer before committing to a new contract. There's speculation about his future, and he has ambitions to play in one of Europe's top five leagues. Maeda has previously played in Portuguese football with Marítimo and is open to staying in Europe.

Craig Moore believes Daizen Maeda's current peak price tag is between £20-25 million, which represents significant money for Celtic. Maeda has had a stunning season under Brendan Rodgers, scoring 33 goals and earning individual honours. Moore understands why fans would be nervous about potentially losing him in the summer, but at the mentioned price, he believes Celtic supporters would accept the transfer and wish Maeda well if it materializes.

Team Talk has reported that Daizen Maeda has attracted interest from several European clubs, including some in Germany, with these clubs considering a summer move for the player. Maeda is currently contracted with Celtic until 2027, which positions the club to demand a substantial transfer fee. Although Maeda is content at Celtic, he is also eager to compete at the highest level. Celtic intends to negotiate a contract renewal with Maeda before the season concludes to maintain his value for the next transfer window. Nonetheless, financial considerations may prevail, as Celtic has a precedent of selling players when they reach peak market value.

Celtic fans are concerned about the potential sale of Daizen Maeda, who is considered their best player currently and a Player of the Year contender. There is speculation that Celtic might sell him if a good offer comes in, based on their model of cashing in at the right time. The discussion suggests that unless a bid of £20 million or more is made, there is no point in selling him. He has significantly improved his game, contributing with goals, movement, and touch.

Brendan Rodgers admits bigger clubs are bound to have an eye on Daizen Maeda after the Celtic striker hit the 25 goal mark. He symbolises everything about the Celtic side and has shown his efficiency at the highest level, including the Champions League. His performance and work rate are likely to attract attention from bigger clubs.
