‘Brendan Rodgers announces his quitting Celtic to complete Premier League club move’
Brendan Rodgers could quit Celtic this summer if he is offered the opportunity to return to the Premier League amid growing frustrations.
That is according to former Man United and Blackburn chief scout Mick Brown, who remains very well-connected within the game, as he exclusively told Football Insider that the boss will likely hold talks with the board at the end of the season.
Rodgers has grown concerned about the club’s ambitions after they failed to strengthen adequately during the January window, and expects to be backed this summer.
However, if his desires to become competitive in Europe on top of their dominance in Scotland are not supported by the board, he could explore a new opportunity.
This comes after Football Insider exclusively revealed on 31 March that Celtic are set to hold talks with Rodgers in the off-season to discuss his future.
The 52-year-old previously left Celtic Park in 2019, having won three consecutive Scottish Premiership titles, to take the job with Leicester City in the Premier League.

During the January transfer window, Celtic failed to adequately replace Kyogo Furuhashi after his shock exit, and concerns have risen ahead of the summer.
Brown, who worked closely with elite managers throughout his career including the likes of Ron Atkinson and Sir Alex Ferguson during Man United’s most successful period, explained that Rodgers would be interested in a return to the Premier League.
“If Rodgers was offered a Premier League job, he would take it,” he told Football Insider.
“He’d be interested in coming back to England and I think he’s not entirely happy at Celtic.
“At the moment, Celtic are dominant in Scotland, there’s nobody challenging them.
“They’ve got to build on what they’ve got in the transfer window, they’re ruling the roost and they want to keep it that way.
