Internacional chiefs are set to fly to Europe for several recruitment meetings, in which they will discuss a permanent move for Alexandro Bernabei with Celtic [The Scottish Sun].
It comes amid the Argentine’s standout performances in the Brazilian Serie A, where he has established himself as one of the league’s best left-backs.
Bernabei has scored three goals and assisted four in 21 appearances since joining Internacional on loan in March. Given his performances, it is no surprise that the club wants to make the move permanent.
Celtic, however, want a hefty fee for the 24-year-old. Last month, it was reported that the Scottish Premiership champions were demanding €10m — which roughly equates to £8.3m — for Bernabei’s long-term services.
Such a price might be out of Internacional’s range, but given Bernabei’s performances and the fact that he is contracted in Glasgow until May 2027, the Hoops have every right to ask for the fee they are.
A permanent move might just be best for all parties, too.
The attack-minded full-back looks to have found some stability back in his native South America, and Celtic could do with getting him off the books because, at least at this moment in time, it doesn’t look like he will get an opportunity back in the first-team. Stranger things have happened, mind you.
Is it wise to sell him when Taylor is not signed a contract and no chance of getting valle they must have someone left backs are hard to get good ones over 6ft Taylor us best in spl he just panicks when press is on maeda always covering for him and scales not the best of passes if you miss your target in Europe you are untrouble even spl attack left side punt up pitch win second ball or knock on im sure Brendon c it but sits and suffers like me must be a must two left full backs if Taylor leaves need one anyway if he stays
