Moussa Dembele will only leave Celtic for an elite club- where he can expect to be playing on a weekly basis.

Over the last week Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have been linked with the striker but it’s unlikely that either could offer the 20-year-old a starting slot.

With 27 goals to his name Dembele has made a massive contribution to Celtic’s success with Brendan Rodgers the perfect mentor for any emerging talent.

The Irishman has complete control of footballing matters ensuring that all signings are his own with no players drafted in with the hope of being sold on for a quick buck.

Rodgers’ has established a great rapport with Dembele’s agent Mamadi Fofana, who has total trust in the Celtic boss.

It has worked out so far the way I had imagined and wanted,” the agent told the Daily Record.

I’d rather Moussa was playing in Scotland for the first team at a big club such as Celtic than being at an equally big club in a more prestigious league and playing for the Under-23 team.

What is the point of that instead of Champions League with Celtic? As a player and as an agent, you have to use your brain.

Everybody loves the boy right now, you have 60,000 people singing his name.

I received a letter from a fan in Japan. One from China. America and Australia. It’s incredible. You only leave a club like Celtic for somewhere with the same dimensions to progress.”

With 27 goals to his name most agents would be beating a path to demand a new contract for their client but it seems that Fofana got his client the right deal first time around.

More clubs are bound to be linked with Dembele over the coming weeks and months, unless they can offer the same career prospects as Celtic they’d be as well keeping their intentions to themselves.
