Few minutes ago Celtic star refuses to sign a new deal and is determined to leave the club.
Celtic FC is navigating a crucial transfer period as left-back Alexandro Bernabei appears determined to leave the club permanently. Currently on loan at Internacional, Bernabei has expressed a strong desire to stay in Brazil. Internacional has made their position clear, submitting a final offer to Celtic. However, the proposed deal is for another loan, falling short of the Scottish champions’ £7 million valuation. The club’s vice-president, Jose Bisol, emphasized their financial constraints, stating they are doing everything possible within their budget to retain the player.
If Internacional cannot finalize the transfer, another Brazilian powerhouse, Palmeiras, is reportedly waiting in the wings. This alternative could provide Celtic with the opportunity to secure their desired fee for Bernabei. Such a move would not only free up funds but also allow the club to focus on strengthening their squad during the January transfer window. The situation underscores the delicate balance Celtic must strike between player ambitions and financial strategy.
Meanwhile, Celtic fans are buzzing with speculation about the potential return of Kieran Tierney. The former Hoops star, currently at Arsenal, is expected to leave the London club when his contract expires. While Tierney’s weekly wage of £110,000 poses a significant challenge, selling Bernabei could cover a substantial portion of the costs for his first year back in Glasgow. The possibility of Tierney donning the green and white again has ignited hopes of bolstering the team’s defensive lineup.
The uncertainty surrounding Bernabei’s future highlights the broader challenges Celtic faces in maintaining their competitive edge. With Internacional’s deadline looming and Palmeiras’ interest intensifying, the club must act decisively. Balancing player departures, potential acquisitions, and financial prudence will be key to ensuring success in the upcoming season.
As the January transfer window approaches, Celtic’s management is under pressure to deliver solutions that align with both the club’s ambitions and the fans’ expectations. Whether it’s securing a lucrative deal for Bernabei or orchestrating a dramatic Tierney comeback, the coming weeks promise to be pivotal for the Scottish champions.
