Palmeiras have joined SC Internacional to chase for Celtic’s Alexandro Bernabei and this should please Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Back in March, Celtic allowed the left-back to join Internacional on loan with an option to buy until the end of this year. He made 23 league appearances, and his performances and goal contributions haven’t gone unnoticed.
Internacional are keen on retaining him and their president, Alessandro Barcellos, stated last week that negotiations with Celtic are in “full swing”.
UOL now claim Palmeiras are closely watching their league rivals’ efforts to try and agree a deal with Brendan Rodgers’ side.
Internacional haven’t yet found an agreement with Celtic, who are requesting €5m for the Argentine. They are trying to lower the fee and have until the end of this month and after that, the Scottish champions would entertain other clubs.
Palmeiras feel Celtic’s €5m request makes the 24-year-old a ‘great market opportunity’, but the report states there’s no assurance the Glasgow club won’t ask for more.
Either way, Palmeiras are in the picture to sign Bernabei and will wait until Internacional’s preferred deadline before approaching Celtic. UOL add the former need to sell Caio Paulista or Vanderlan if they are to sign the Celtic man.
