Izak Ante Sucic was quick to dismiss a report that Manchester United and Chelsea are considering making bids for Josip Juranovic.
The defender has had two incredible seasons with Legia Warsaw and Celtic that has established him in the star-studded Croatian national side. At the start of June, Juranovic played for Croatia in victories away to Denmark and France and has the World Cup Finals to look forward to in November.
Sucic was close to the timeline when Celtic signed Juranovic a year ago, yesterday he quickly delivered a Nope to Graeme Bailey’s tweet about bids coming in from the EPL.

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
Juranovic’s rate of progress will be put to the test before Christmas when he samples the Champions League and World Cup Finals for the first time.
If his form continues at that level of the game reports of showing interest and on the radar are likely to be converted into concrete offers which could restart Celtic’s trading model which had stalled a little until last summer’s transfers of Kris Ajer and Odsonne Edouard.
