# Celtic: Diego Laxalt stay unlikely

**Diego Laxalt is unlikely to extend his temporary stay with Celtic in the summer.**

That’s according to the [latest reports from Argentina](https://twitter.com/sebaongok/status/1369663155509616653?s=21), cited by [Sempre Milan](https://sempremilan.com/report-milan-defender-attracting-interest-from-boca-juniors-as-celtic-stay-is-unlikely) who have linked the 28-year-old with a move to Boca Juniors.

### Laxalt a big Celtic earner

Laxalt [joined the Hoops from AC Milan back in October](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54416923) and has made [23](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/leistungsdaten/spieler/230552) appearances in all competitions since then.

The left-back has been battling with Greg Taylor for a starting spot in green and white, with the South American featuring from the off in just [two of the club’s last 11 Scottish Premiership fixtures](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/leistungsdaten/spieler/230552).

Celtic are thought to be paying [£22,250 of the Uruguayan’s weekly wage](https://footballleaguefc.com/celtic-fc-player-wages/) but, despite [rumours of a permanent Parkhead move](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/diego-laxalts-permanent-celtic-transfer-23266694), it now seems as if his days left in Glasgow are numbered.

### Transfer Tavern take

The [£3.6m-rated](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-laxalt/profil/spieler/230552) ace hasn’t exactly nailed down the left-back spot since the New Year, so, even though a permanent Parkhead switch is unlikely, it may not be a huge transfer blow.

A rebuild both on and off the pitch at Celtic Park looks likely to get the go ahead this summer, so the club could bring in a new left-back to rival Greg Taylor.

Boli Bolingoli could also return to Glasgow from his loan spell with Istanbul Basaksehir, although the Turkish side do have the [option to sign the 25-year-old on a permanent basis](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/boli-bolingoli/profil/spieler/168156).
