Jacek Kulig, Football Talent Scout, with over 200,000 Twitter followers, reckons that Alesandro Bernabei is a good choice to become Celtic’s first Argentinian signing.
The hoops have been strongly linked with the Lanus defender as Ange Postecoglou looks for competition to Greg Taylor at left-back.
Bernabei has been missing for Lanus’ last two matches with claims that he has been in Europe to finalise an Italian passport.
Since Brexit there appears to have been a relaxation in the criteria to play in Scotland but with an Italian passport travel within Europe will be much easier.
It looks like Alexandro Bernabei may become the first-ever Argentinian to play for Celtic. ????
Another fantastic player from Lanús youth academy.
Good choice by The Bhoys. https://t.co/naRHgvoT6U

There has been nothing official to emerge from Celtic about Bernabei but on Friday June 10 without any trailing the club announced that Cameron Carter-Vickers had signed had signed on a four year contract.
If signed up Bernabei will make his Celtic debut in Austria where Ange Postecoglou’s squad will be based at a training camp with friendly matches still to be announced.
