Celtic's Kelechi Iheanacho is keen to stay at the club for another season if a fresh contract offer is made to him, sources have told Football Insider. The Bhoys' option to automatically extend the striker's previous deal into a second year expires today, and he already has interest from several clubs.
What's Next for Iheanacho?
Iheanacho enjoyed his time at Parkhead, despite injuries limiting him to just four starts across the league campaign. He struck five Premiership goals during his time with Martin O'Neill's side, including vital late winners against Hibernian and Motherwell.
Turkish Clubs Circle
Several top Turkish clubs have been alerted to the frontman's availability, with recent reports suggesting he already has offers on the table to move to the Super Lig. Iheanacho's future hangs in the balance, and it remains to be seen whether Celtic will respond positively to his desire to stay.

Celtic are set to add at least one new striker to their ranks this summer, with O'Neill concerned by the lack of physicality at the top of the pitch. Daizen Maeda's future at Parkhead is also firmly up in the air, meaning Celtic could line up with a totally revamped frontline by the start of 2026-27. The entire squad is set to be overhauled ahead of the new campaign, with the top of the pitch a major area of concern.
