Croatian Journalist offers Juranovic update but blames Celtic for delay

Celtic are still in talks with Legia Warsaw over the transfer of Croatian full-back Josip Juranovic. The 25-year-old appears to be Celtic’s first choice in the transfer market as the search for a right-back continues. However, rumours circulated yesterday that the deal was off. Although, Croatian journalist Ižak Ante Sučić has said that the deal is still on but the difficulties have emerged since Celtic formally offered less than they initially agreed.

Celtic appear to have offered less than previously agreed but there is a chance that this can be remedied by offering what Legia want for the ex-Hadjuk Split star. The Editor-in-Chief of Germanijak.hr said that the deal appeared ‘easy’ at first but now Celtic are looking into offer cheaper options, like Man City’s Yan Couto.

Sučić continues saying that the deal would represent a ‘win win’ for Celtic as they would be purchasing a quality full-back, someone that would improve the team.

The player had made 40 appearances for Warsaw after joining from Hajduk Split in 2020. In that time, the Croatian full-back has made 13 goals for his teammates and scored 3 himself, earning praise for his crossing ability and powerful running.

The ten-cap Croatian Internationalist is a high-quality option for Celtic and it appears that the team and player appear to be still keen on the deal. It would be hugely preferable to sign a permanent right-back as opposed to relying on a loan deal.
