Charlie Mulgrew says he is yet to be offered a new contract at Celtic, but has told Sky Sports News HQ that manager Brendan Rodgers wants him to stay.
The Scotland defender's current contract with Celtic expires in the summer and he has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Bournemouth reportedly interested.
Mulgrew confirmed talks over a new deal were ongoing and that he was hopeful of being offered a contract at some point next week after speaking to Rodgers about his plans for the Scottish Premiership champions.
"We are in discussions at the moment, so hopefully we can come to some agreement and we'll just see what happens," the 30-year-old told Sky Sports News HQ following Scotland's 3-0 friendly defeat to France on Saturday night.
"I have spoken to the new manager, his plans for the club are great and I think it's exciting times ahead for Celtic.
"I hope I can be involved in that. I think there are a few big years coming up and I want to be involved in it and be involved in the club going forward.
"I am happy but the longer it goes on, you start to wonder whether it's going to happen.
"I want to stay, I've spoken to the manager and he wants me to stay. That's important for me, you want to feel wanted and hopefully we can come to some kind of agreement."
