Football Scotland reported last night that Celtic are closing in on a move for exciting Lanus left back Alexandro Bernabei.
Multiple tabloids such as the Scottish Sun and Daily Record have also ran with the story.
Multiple reports/rumours are now doing the rounds that Bernabei has left his native Argentina, and is currently in Europe, getting his passport sorted out in preparation for the move to Scotland.
From watching the video below, Bernabei looks like an ideal player to have playing as an inverted left back under Ange Postecoglou at Celtic.
As you’ll see, he is lighting fast, has good control of the ball, can go by players with ease, and importantly for the role, he seems very comfortable cutting inside and driving forwards through the centre of the midfield.
At just 21 years of age, I would guess a 5 year contract will be offered to the player.
So far there doesn’t seem to be any mention of what sort of fee would be involved, but again my best guess is that it would be a relatively modest one, and his wages likely will be too, with this being his big move to Europe and coming from a small club in Argentina.
From all the videos I’ve seen of our potential left back targets this summer, this player excites me the most.
Check out Bernabei in action below.
why you lot even bother to give credence to servco they are a new team, with no money they have
lost the plots on saying they are still the best how how stupid are we to listen to the xish they talk
if you took a vast section of there supporters to a head doctor at the royal their would be no room
for honest people that have lost their way , just tell them Celtic are the best that should send them all to leverndale .hail Hail ya pile of bampots
