Chelsea linked with August move for Celtic’s World Cup defender
Chelsea are reported to be considering a move for Josip Juranovic.
The defender joined Celtic a year ago from Legia Warsaw, although he signed a five year contract an offer above £20m with a massive hike in wages would be hard for Celtic and the player to resist
Juranovic has constantly stated how happy he is with life at Celtic but playing in the Champions League for a London club appears to be a goal for many players across Europe.
Other than Jeremy Frimpong Celtic have struggled to find a replacement for Mikel Lustig at right-back but in Anthony Ralston they have a deputy that knows the Scottish game very well.

What should Celtic do with Juranovic
Keep at all cost, this is a vital season coming up
At £20m we have to do business- with replacement lined up
Bidding starts at £30m, not a penny less
Two years ago Juranovic was leaving Hadjuk Split for Legia Warsaw, with a regular place in the Croatian national side his development will be well watched by leading clubs across Europe.
