Celtic’s Alexandro Bernabei can leave Brendan Rodgers’ side permanently in the next few days, according to a fresh report from Brazil.
The left-back was on loan at SC Internacional last year and they are keen on retaining him despite not exercising the purchase option.
Last month, Internacional president Alessandro Barcellos and vice-president, José Olavo Bisol, both confirmed the negotiations with Celtic.
On Thursday, UOL reported the Brazilian club have made advances in their negotiations to buy the 24-year-old after making an offer to Celtic. This is backed up by GZH, who then provide their own updates on this case.
They say Bernabei’s agent Juan Cruz Oller should arrive in Glasgow on Friday to negotiate his client’s exit from Celtic. The officials from both clubs have been in discussions for a while and the negotiations should speed up, following the representative’s arrival.
Internacional have already made an offer and the fee reported by the Scottish press is around £4.5m. GZH relay that and then state the Argentine’s Celtic Park exit is expected to be finalised this weekend.
