Celtic’s rising star on the wing, Rocco Vata, remains undecided about his future with the club, causing ongoing speculation about his next move in recent months.

The talented Republic of Ireland Under-21 international has reportedly been offered a contract extension that would keep him at Parkhead until 2027. However, with his current deal set to expire at the end of this season, several clubs have entered the fray to secure his signature.

Scouts from AC Milan, Atalanta, and Bologna were reportedly present to witness Vata’s stellar performance, including a hat-trick for the Irish Under-21 team in their recent 7-0 victory over San Marino.

In addition to interest from Serie A clubs, Championship side Watford is also in talks with Vata’s representatives regarding a potential move, with a compensation fee of around £400,000 being discussed.

Despite his young age of 18, Vata has shown promise in his limited senior appearances, impressing with his strength, speed, and goal-scoring instincts. Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has spoken highly of the youngster, highlighting his potential and the need for further development.

As Vata weighs his options for the future, Celtic fans hope to see the talented winger remain at the club as they look to nurture homegrown talent for sustained success. With uncertainties surrounding his future, including the social media buzz created by his agent showcasing his recent achievements, it remains to be seen where Vata’s journey will lead him next.

As the situation unfolds, all eyes are on Vata’s decision, with Celtic supporters eagerly awaiting clarity on his role in the club’s long-term plans under Rodgers’ leadership.
