Four Celtic players operating in a similar position will all be out of contract next summer.
If it was this summer there would be reason to panic but with 15 months to run on the contracts of the attacking midfielders now is the time to conduct meaningful contract talks.
Charly Musonda will return to Chelsea, hopefully with a CV packed with medals and experiences as Brendan Rodgers nurtures him through towards play-maker status.
These days player contracts are never ending, even on a long term deal like Kieran Tierney had there is pressure with wage inflation constantly pushing terms upwards.
Working with Brendan Rodgers is one of the big attractions for Celtic players with the Irishman demonstrating his commitment to the club by signing a long term deal after clinching last season’s title.
Callum McGregor signed a new contract earlier in the season but some important talks will be underway with players and agents obviously interested in the thoughts of other players.
Injuries have hit the attacking midfield options badly this season but Rodgers will have a good idea of what direction his squad is heading in as he looks to re-sign current players while planning his summer recruits.
