Moussa Dembele lifts lid on soured Brendan Rodgers relationship eight years on from Celtic exit

Former Celtic striker Moussa Dembele revealed that he no longer holds any ill-will toward Brendan Rodgers, eight years after his contentious departure from the Scottish club. The relationship between the two soured in the summer of 2018 amid a dispute over Dembele's transfer, leading to public clashes before the French forward moved on.

Dembele noted that the initial plan agreed upon in London was to play two seasons at Celtic before moving to a top-five European league. Despite the initial disappointment regarding how his exit unfolded, Dembele praised Rodgers as a fantastic manager who drove Celtic's Invincible campaign and Double Treble, confirming they recently reconciled after facing each other in Saudi Arabia.
