Celtic have some very highly-rated young talents in their squad at this point in time. Thus, it is only natural that other teams would be interested in such youngsters as well. Yet, that is not what the fans want to hear. Now, it remains to be seen what the future holds for such players, who are drawing outside interest.
Celtic do not have the best record in recent times when it comes to promoting their own youth stars. That has resulted in a number of them leaving the club before ever making their mark at the senior level.
One of the most highly-rated youngsters in the Celtic youth ranks right now is Rocco Vata. He has impressed with his performances at the developmental levels, has even made appearances for the senior team and now, appears to be drawing the interest of clubs from all over Europe in signing him,
As tweeted out by Anthony Joseph, a number of clubs in Italy, England & Belgium are keen on signing Vata. He just joined CAA Base football agency.

Vata has only a year more left on his contract with Celtic. Thus, if he does not end up signing an extension soon, it would not be a surprise to see him leave.
Vata has been one of the bright points of his age group. So, if he does end up leaving Celtic without ever really making a real impact, that would be a major disappointment for many people.
Vata has been given some minutes here and there at the senior level and could be in a good position to take the next step forward if he stays on. According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has made 4 appearances for Celtic and played 39 minutes of football in total.
