Fabrizio Romano has delivered some good news for Celtic fans tonight after revealing that there is strong interest in Josip Juranovic.
According to the acknowledged transfer expert the permanent transfer of Jota is only a matter of days away.
Celtic fans have been tracking social media since the end of the season for news on the on-loan winger only to be greeted with images of Jota in Ibiza, New York and Cancun.
Tonight Romano announced:
Celtic have confirmed to Benfica their intention to trigger buy option clause to sign Jota on a permanent deal in the next days. #CelticFC Benfica are now prepared to receive €7.5m for 70%, just waiting for player to discuss contract details with Celtic.
So far Celtic have converted Cameron Carter-Vickers’s loan from Spurs into a four year permanent deal with Jota in a similar situation.
A defensive midfielder and a left-back seem to be the priority for Ange Postecoglou but with a week before the non-internationalists return for pre-season training there has so far been no new faces joining the club.
News of interest in Juranovic isn’t likely to come as a surprise to Celtic, if a firm offer is put in place it will prove hard to resist with a move to England likely to come with a salary of four or five times what he is currently getting at Celtic after signing last August from Legia Warsaw.
