Celtic appear to have named their price for Josip Juranovic. The Croatian was pivotal in his side reaching the Semi-Finals before losing to Argentina. Although, interest in the defender has increased given his performances in Europe as well as in Qatar.
According to the Daily Record, Celtic want at least £17m for the player as they look to maximise their profit in the player that was signed for just £2.5m last summer. Torino have sought to fend off likely suitors of Juranovic by making a first enquiry; however, they have been quoted double their suggested fee.

Juranovic has been touted with moves away since January, such has been the quality of his performances. The former Legia Warsaw defender has attracted interest from England and Spain and should he have an impressive World Cup campaign, you would expect that teams will strike up talks for the Croatian.
Juranovic has another three-and-a-half years on his deal at Celtic and, you would expect, the fee needed to prise him away from Glasgow’s East End is a realistic one. Whilst it is sore to see better players linked with exits, it is an inevitability that players will be sought after given Ange’s quality of play.
