Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers rules out selling Matt O'Riley to Atletico Madrid
The Spanish giants saw a bid turned down for the midfielder
Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers has vowed Matt O'Riley will not be sold this month after the club rejected an offer from Atletico Madrid for the Denmark international midfielder.
The 23-year-old former MK Dons player has produced 10 goals and 12 assists this season and recently signed a contract extension that ties him to the cinch Premiership champions until 2027.
Rodgers confirmed Celtic had rejected an offer from LaLiga side Atletico and added: "Matt is a player we don't want to lose and he won't be going anywhere in January.
"It's a great testament to him and what the club can do for a player. He won his first international cap this season and Atletico Madrid are a big club in European football.
"But he is very much part of what we are doing. He has been a joy to work with and I had a good chat with Matt this morning (Thursday) and he is someone who will be here for us in the second part of the season."
