Argentinian publisher Clarin has provided a detailed update on Alexandro Bernabei’s move to Celtic, claiming that the defender undertook a medical yesterday in London.
Celtic fans have been tracking every movement in the proposed transfer, down to tracking flights from Argentina to Europe, as they look for the first major arrival of this transfer window.
Cameron Carter-Vickers has had his loan converted to a permanent move while Ben Siegrist has moved from Dundee United as a free agent.
Back in January, Celtic were quick out of the blocks with Daizen Maeda, Reo Hatate and Yosuke Ideguchi announced as signings on December 31 giving them maximum time to prepare for the SPFL season resuming on January 17.
Celtic have matches scheduled in Austria for July 6 and 9, according to Clarin Bernabei will be training at Lennoxtown on Monday:
It is a fruitful pass market for Lanús . Without a doubt. In the last few hours, he closed the sale of Alexandro Bernabei to Celtic of Scotland for which he will receive some 3.5 million clean dollars . This is added to the nearly 10 million US dollars that Palmeiras de Brasil paid for striker José López , an operation sealed last week. And in the next few days he could receive an offer from abroad for Tomás Belmonte .
Bernabei’s departure was agreed in the middle of this week and the 21-year-old left-back has already travelled to the UK. As they confirmed to Clarín from the representation company Oller Group , the player began this Thursday with the medical review process in London and then travelled to Scotland and signed for five years with Celtic, who won eight of the last nine Scottish Premiership .
He is the first Argentine footballer to move to the Glasgow team. In turn, Lanús will keep 10 percent of a future sale . Bernabei played a total of 79 games dressed in maroon, scoring three goals and providing eight assists . A couple of days ago he said goodbye with a “I love you all” from the South club. And on Monday the preseason will begin with his new teammates.
Ange Postecoglou has been on holiday in Greece but is likely to face the media early next week with transfer activity likely to be the main issue.
