Getting €7 million for Alexandro Bernabei would represent a terrific piece of business from Celtic…
According to various sources in South America out of favour Celtic left back Alexandro Bernabei is moving ever so closer to sealing a permanent move to current loan club Internacional.
Bernabei struggled to get match-time at Celtic
The Argentine has struggled to force his way into the Celtic first team since his £3.75 move from Argentine side Lanus in 2022, but has excelled brilliantly in the top flight of Brazilian football where he has been named in the team of the year due to his impressive performances.

The South American never really took the Scottish game and struggled to settle off the field due to a couple of controversial incidents, and now looks a more settled confident player back in his own continent.
€7 million transfer is imminent
It now looks ever likely he will end his time in Glasgow with the club reportedly receiving an impressive €7 million for his signature which a few months ago looked extremely unlikely.
That sort of money for a player who isn’t in the managers plans represents a terrific piece of business by the club. And it’s money that can be put to good use in other areas of the squad in what promises to be an interesting transfer window with Brendan Rodgers one again looking to shed numbers from his squad for players not in his plans while strengthening in keys areas, adding quality while reducing quantity.

Just an Ordinary Bhoy
Could well be the start of a trend,
Where players like bernie, could be considered as unsuccessful on the playing front for ourselves, yet capable of producing a profit for ourselves in a business sense within our club?
Got a few players that could fall into that category still, and certainly a trend that not many, if any have operating within the footballing world?
But there again, we are also a club like no other also?
Players who possess talent, but can’t fit into a club, with numerous factors involved isn’t unusual by any means?
But turning a profit upon them, usually can be?
Still would prefer players coming into our club, to provide moreso on the playing front with there contributions, than keeping the bank balance healthy imo?
But getting the second best option available isn’t to bad either, but rather it not becoming a regular trend either.
Good luck to bernie for his future career also
