# Celtic: Journalist drops Albian Ajeti exit claim

**[Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-transfer-rumours/) are waiting for offers for Albian Ajeti in the summer transfer window, reliable journalist Anthony Joseph has claimed.**

### The Lowdown: Ajeti out of favour

There were endless Hoops heroes last season, as Ange Postecoglou’s side not only regained the [Scottish Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) title but also won the Scottish League Cup.

One player who contributed little throughout the campaign was Ajeti, however, with the forward making just [seven league appearances](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143693/Show/Albian-Ajeti) and scoring twice.

The 25-year-old’s current deal [expires](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/profil/spieler/195906) in 2024 but it looks as though he may leave this summer.

### The Latest: Get rid

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88025587-celtic-would-entertain-offers-for-5m-star-at-parkhead), Joseph confirmed that Celtic are happy to get rid of Ajeti even on a loan-to-buy:

> “Ajeti has just not worked out. He signed for £4.5m in the Covid season, he was living in a hotel, not really settling in at Celtic and hasn’t been able to set the world alight under Ange Postecoglou.
>
> “He probably doesn’t fit into the way Postecoglou wants to play and unless he has a really good pre-season, which could happen, if they were to get a loan offer with an option to buy, Celtic would very much entertain that.”

### The Verdict: Time to move on

Ajeti has never quite managed to fully convince at Parkhead, [scoring nine times in 48 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/albian-ajeti/alletore/spieler/195906), and it does feel as though now is the right time to sell him.

His aforementioned contract situation means that Celtic would still be able to demand a healthy fee for his services, putting them in a strong bargaining position.

If Ajeti was to stay put, it certainly wouldn’t be the end of the world – he has been [described](https://thecelticstar.com/the-unstoppable-success-of-celtic-ajeti-praised-by-postecoglou-and-albanian-president-ilir-meta/) as ‘wonderful’ by Albania president Ilir Meta – but it is hard to see how regular playing time is going to come his way moving forward.
