BOGARDE DENIES CELTIC CLAIMS
Bogarde has made just four starts since joining The Blues on a free transfer from Barcelona a year ago and has been linked with a move to Spanish side Atletico Madrid as well as the Parkhead club.
He admits that his career has ground to a halt at Stamford Bridge and is seriously considering his future, and following a mixed pre-season, Bogarde feels he is no longer a part of boss Claudio Ranieri's plans.
"At the moment, as far as I am concerned, there has been no approach made from any club and I certainly haven't spoken to Celtic," he said.
"At the moment, I remain a Chelsea player though I am seriously considering my future.
"I have heard the rumours and the stories linking me with a move to Celtic and also saying that I have turned down a loan move there, but I have to say these are not true."
Bogarde still harbours ambitions to play in next year`s World Cup finals and knows he must be playing regular first-team football to achieve those dreams.
He has been told by Ranieri it will be difficult for him to break into the Chelsea side this season and Bogarde is prepared to move on if needs be.
