Moussa Dembele could stay at Celtic for the full four years of his contract.
After scoring 27 goals by mid-February- including three precious strikes in the Champions League- the striker is likely to be in high demand once the summer transfer window opens.
Top Champions League clubs are likely to be offering Celtic north of £30m with the striker assured of a weekly wage that stretches into six figures.
Many agents would be in a rush to cash in while they can but Mamadi Fofana has a different career plan for his star client.
Fofana’s trust in Celtic and Brendan Rodgers is the same as his belief in Dembele. Total.
At times speculation about the striker has reached hysteria but in the background and on the pitch there are no distractions as Dembele goes about the task of delivering on his incredible potential.
“Moussa doesn’t stress,” Fofana told the Daily Record. “He signed a four-year deal at Celtic and, in his head, he’ll be at Celtic for those four years.
“If he has to leave, that will happen at the right time, but it’s not in Moussa’s head or my head.
“In January, there was speculation, but there will always be speculation if he does well. It’s good. It means we are all doing well. The boy is doing well, Celtic is doing well and we as agents are doing the right things for everyone but it’s so important to focus on the right things. Moussa remains cool. He’s not affected.
“I am not even thinking of the future. I don’t wake up in the morning thinking where Moussa will go in the summer.
“The future does not exist. The past has gone. It’s about being a better player right now. The plan with Brendan and the club and Moussa is private, but I can say it will remain the same and it stays the same.”
Fofana added: “If Celtic ever wants to sell Moussa, it will be a common decision which is taken between everyone but, at the moment, I can be no clearer in saying there is absolutely no discussion between me and Celtic about Moussa leaving in the summer or even next January.”
