Celtic remain locked in discussions with Legia Warsaw for a deal for Croatian Josip Juranovic. The ten-cap right-back has been at the top of Celtic’s wishlist as Ange Postecoglou looks to bring in a challenger for Tony Ralston at the right side of defence.
Croatian journalist Marko Jerleković has said that the deal remains ON as it stands but there appears to be a reluctance to find an agreeable price for the full-back, with Warsaw holding firm. The player looks set to depart the Polish club but only if they receive their desired fee, which is believed to be closer to £5m than the previously quoted £3m.
Jerleković continued saying that his source is still hoping that a deal will be agreed, retaining hope that Celtic can complete a deal for the former Hadjuk Split star.
Celtic have been looking at Yan Couto from Manchester City on a loan deal but this would only make sense for the club if it was for a couple of seasons and not a season-long deal. Celtic are still on the lookout for a central defender as well as a winger with Gorica’s Kristijan Lovric but as it stands, the club are still working on outgoings as well as incoming over the next few weeks.
