# Worrying report for Celtic fans ahead of next season, Rodgers reportedly aware of situation

**It’s hard to blame the Celtic fans in the Transfer Tavern for feeling pretty invincible, following their wonderful campaign last time out.**

Unbeaten in domestic competition last term, the Bhoys in the bar were looking ahead to what could hopefully be a second clean sweep on the bounce, as well as hopefully a longer adventure in the Champions League.

Still, their optimism has taken a hit of late. According to the [Scottish Sun](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/), star man Moussa Dembele is open to a move away from Glasgow, despite the Hoops’ success.

The former Fulham man notched 32 times last season after joining on a free, though Marseille were [recently reported](https://twitter.com/SkyKaveh/status/889380536548024320) to have held talks over a potential move for the 21-year-old. Though the punters in our bar clad in green and white were hoping the club would stand strong, this [report](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/) isn’t overly promising.

Indeed, Dembele is [said](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/) to be open to a move back to France.  *Les Phocéens* are [thought](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/) to want to challenge PSG and Monaco for the Ligue 1 title next season and are [reportedly](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/) willing to meet a £20m fee for the bulking central forward.

Brendan Rodgers is [believed](https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1327364/celtic-moussa-dembele-shock-move-marseille/) to be aware that he could face a battle to keep his star man, much to the annoyance of our resident Celtic fans.

**Thoughts?**
