Diego Laxalt picked up his first winners medal as a player yesterday as Celtic sealed the Quadruple Treble. However, his agent has admitted that the player would like to play in the Premier League next year despite saying that the former Genoa defender was enjoying his time in Glasgow so far.
As reported by the Scottish Sun, Laxalt’s agent Ariel Krasouski says that the Celtic loan star is hoping to play in England next season as he expects that AC Milan will sell him as he enters his final year of his contract in the summer.
“Diego is playing a lot of games for Celtic and he is very happy there. They treat him very well in Glasgow.
“In the summer he will return to Milan after his loan contract at Celtic ends.
“I think Milan will try and sell him at that point before his contract expires in a year’s time.
Diego’s wish is to play next season in England. We’ll have to wait and see what happens.”
The Uruguayan joined on deadline day from Celtic’s Europa League Group H rivals AC Milan and immediately started the 2-0 home defeat to Rangers. His performances have given some much needed pace and steel on the left hand side, something that has been missing since Kieran Tierney left for Arsenal.
Celtic are reportedly keen to keep him at the club and could use Milan’s interest in Kris Ajer to broker a deal. Greg Taylor has started the last two games but Laxalt is believed to have been suffering from a minor knock.
