Celtic goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas reportedly requests to leave the club as he is frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities.

Celtic goalkeeper Vasilis Barkas has reportedly requested to leave the club as he has grown frustrated with a lack of first-team opportunities.

The 27-year-old joined the Hoops for £5m in the summer of 2020, but after a string of poor performances between the sticks, he lost his place in the starting lineup to Scott Bain.

The arrival of Joe Hart in August 2021 pushed Barkas further down the pecking order and he has been reduced to just two appearance under Ange Postecoglou in all competitions this season.

According to Greek news outlet Onlarissa, via the Daily Record, Barkas has "demanded" to leave Celtic this summer and the Glaswegian giants will not stand in the player's way.

The report adds that the Hoops had hoped to move the goalkeeper on in January, but loan moves to Sheffield United or IFK Goteborg failed to materialise.

13-cap Greece international Barkas has made a total of 24 appearances for Celtic, keeping 11 clean sheets.
