As Rocco Vata’s contract with Celtic approaches its expiration at midnight on Sunday, the young forward is reportedly in advanced talks with Watford regarding a potential move. This development makes it increasingly likely that he will leave Celtic.
Vata’s limited first-team opportunities might be a significant factor in his decision to explore options elsewhere, seeking more consistent playing time and development opportunities.
Watford, currently competing in the English Championship, offer a promising platform for young talent. This move could be a crucial step in Vata’s career, offering him the chance to play regular football.
Rocco is a Celtic fan, but he obviously believes at this stage his career is served best elsewhere.
Celtic find it difficult to hold onto young talent. Either they’re poached before they make a real impact or they get frustrated with first team opportunity.
