Celtic could yet make a bid for Brighton defender Shane Duffy that sees Tom Rogic move in the opposite direction, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

Rogic appears to be close to sealing a move away from Parkhead this summer. However, supporters would have been forgiven for thinking that his next move had already been decided.

The Daily Mail reported on Wednesday that Rogic was set to complete a £4 million move to a Qatari club in the next 24 hours.

The Mail has now suggested that a £3.6 million offer is on the table from the country. However, he could yet make a move to the Premier League.

The latest report has suggested that Celtic could offer Rogic as part of their bid to sign Duffy, who earns £40,000-a-week, according to Spotrac.

TBR View: Losing Rogic would make more sense if exit helped Celtic land target

It was a surprise when the report emerged suggesting Rogic was set to leave Celtic in a £4 million move.

Some fans felt that it was the right time to let the Australian leave. But others clearly felt that the fee was too low.

Should his departure help Celtic land a target however, a move will surely receive a lot more backing from the fans.

It is not clear whether Celtic would still look to sign Duffy on loan if Rogic was included in the deal. Perhaps the midfielder may also make a loan move to the Amex Stadium before another decision is taken on his future this summer.
