Celtic fans, and Rodgers, share the ambition of challenging again in the knock out stages of the Champions League after their journey to the knock out rounds of the competition last season to go alongside their domestic success.
Yang could move on if Celtic secure one of their targets.
This season though Celtic will have to navigate a play-off round before they can compete in the Champions League league stage.
Either FC Kairat Almaty or Slovan Bratislava await in that play-off fixture and the result could impact transfer activity.
As exclusively revealed by Football Insider, Celtic are lining up a fourth bid for winger Jakob Breum, but any deal for the 21-year-old lays on the Hoops’ involvement in the league stage of the Champions League.

Football Insider Verdict
It is clear from the St Mirren performance that Celtic require more impetus, creativity and quality in attack.
If Celtic want to compete in the Champions League again then signing a winger of Breum’s quality is essential.
Appearances31Goals11Assists6Breum’s 2024/25 stats in all competitions.
Breum contributed goals and assists for Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivise last season, something Rodgers currently needs more of in his squad.
Rodgers needs a goal scorer to support and provide competition for Adam Idah and Maeda with Johnny Kenny and new signing Shin Yamada yet to prove themselves in the Scottish Premiership.
Either way, an improved performance is expected when Celtic travel to Aberdeen next in the league.
