Rogers hopes that Maeda Dairan will renew his contract with the team and stay with the team for a long time

Celtics coach Brendan Rodgers said that power forward Dairan Maeda's performance this season is impeccable and he undoubtedly deserves a salary increase. Rodgers hopes that the Japanese striker can renew his contract with the team and stay with the team for a long time.

Dairan Maeda has scored 28 goals for Celtic this season, especially in the center position vacated by his compatriot Kento Furuhashi, and can be regarded as a new discovery on the front line.

Although the 27-year-old Japan international's current contract will run until 2027, Rodgers and the club still hope to lock in his future in advance.

"If there is an opportunity to renew, then of course it is something that has to be done," Rogers said.

"I have spoken with the majority shareholder Desmond, the club and the player himself and hope that an agreement can be reached in the future."

"He's been absolutely fantastic for us this season, no matter what position he plays, no matter how he plays, he's played at a very high level."

"So of course you want to keep one of the most important players in the team."
