Marvin Compper is ready to leave Celtic in January.
The defender has made just one top team appearance since moving from RB Leipzig at the start of the year with little prospect of more game time.
Compper is under contract until June 2020 but is ready to walk away from his lucrative contract in order to get back in action.
At Celtic’s AGM on Wednesday Brendan Rodgers said ‘Blame me’ when the question of Compper came up with the Irishman admitting that he now had various options ahead of the 33-year-old German.
“Unfortunately, I do not play much of a role with our manager and that’s why I want to take a look around during the winter break,” he told The Sun. “Whether it will be in the Bundesliga, I do not know. I’m pretty open.
“Although I will be 34 in the summer, I still have a lot in the tank. Unfortunately, I can not show it at Celtic.
“Right now, it’s about looking to where I can continue my career. In any case, I can still play for two more years.
“I just want to keep playing football elsewhere.”
Just before Compper completed his signing Kris Ajer became a first pick in the Celtic defence with Jack Hendry making a dozen appearances after being signed from Dundee.
At the end of the summer transfer window Celtic signed Filip Benkovic on loan from Leicester City.
