CELTIC manager Brendan Rodgers has confirmed that Stefan Johansen is on the way out of the club and expects a deal to be completed within days.
The Norway international has only made one appearance under the Northern Irishman so far this season and is understood to be close to joining English Championship side Fulham.
During Friday's media conference ahead of the Scottish Premiership clash with Aberdeen, Rodgers admitted an agreement has been found that 'works well for both.'
The Hoops boss also said that the midfielder's departure has been held up due to problems over agreeing personal terms.
Ronny Deila signed Johansen for Celtic from Stromsgodset in January 2014 and he has since scored 19 goals in 114 games for the club.
