Celtic goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel has told the Danish media his future will be sorted out in the new year.
With Ian Hart retiring at the end of last season Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers brought in the Denmark international during the summer window.
Ekstra Bladet have reported on comments Schmeichel made to their sport magazine Bold when asked about whether he will extend his stay with Celtic beyond this season. The veteran keeper said it wasn’t something he was thinking about at this stage, but in the near future it will be discussed.
“It’s something we’ll sit down and talk about at some point in the new year. For the time being, I am not thinking that far ahead. My focus is on the things that happen here and now,” said the Dane.
The 37-year-old joined Celtic on a one-year contract during the summer despite attention from Premier League sides like Ipswich Town, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Nottingham Forest.
Schmeichel has conceded just one goal in Celtic’s opening seven league games this season as Rodgers’ side top the Scottish Premiership table.
However, it’s unlikely the Glasgow club will want a situation like last season after Hart announced he would be retiring from football, and they may move early to secure the services of Schmeichel for another campaign.
