Palmeiras are looking at Celtic’s Alexandro Bernabei and could make an attempt to take him away from Brendan Rodgers’ side in January.
That’s according to Bolvaip in Brazil, and they make it clear they have found out about the Brazilian club’s interest in the Celtic player.
Back in March, Celtic allowed the left-back to join SC Internacional on a loan deal until the end of this year.
The Argentine has made 25 appearances in all competitions, managing three goals and eight assists in the process. His performances and involvement in scoring goals make him one of the star players in Brazil’s top division.
On December 11th, we covered claims from Brazil which stated Internacional will make an attempt to retain the player beyond this year. It was also said Celtic are demanding €5m and this is high for the Brazilian club.
Bolvaip points out claims made elsewhere about Bernabei wanting to continue in Brazil with Internacional.
The report claims Palmeiras could ‘win the battle’ for the Celtic man and beat Internacional in the process.
Bolavip say Palmeiras have more than R$200m [€30.6m] for signings in the winter market and may not have an issue meeting Celtic’s €5m demand. They will have to offload one of Caio Paulista and Vanderlan before making an approach for Bernabei.
Either way, it looks like Bernabei’s future could be away from Celtic Park.
