The bizarre Greg Taylor transfer rumour

From Wednesday Greg Taylor is free to sign a pre-contract agreement with any club that he wishes.

At the age of 27 he is in a once in a lifetime situation to negotiate the most important contract of his career.

With no transfer fee involved Taylor is in the driving seat, back in August 2019 he was under contract with Kilmarnock when Celtic paid out £2m to take him to Glasgow.

According to one Twitter account Dinamo Zagreb are interested in signing the defender, whether the interest is mutual remains to be seen.

The defender’s contract with the Scottish side is set to expire in June.

Taylor played against Zagreb earlier this month, since that 0-0 draw the Croatian side has sacked their second manager of the season with retaining the title looking unlikely.

Croatian teams tend to be massive exporters of players, youth development is the driving force in a country with a population smaller than Scotland that has reached the last four of the last two World Cup Finals.

Brendan Rodgers has repeatedly spoken positively about Taylor and his hopes of agreeing a new contract but that appears increasingly unlikely.

A move out of Scotland is likely to carry a lot of appeal but Croatia seems a highly unlikely destination for the peak years of his career.
