# Celtic: Alexandro Bernabei set for Parkhead medical

**Alexandro Bernabei will undergo a medical at [Celtic](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/celtic-news/) imminently and a move could be completed ‘this weekend’, according to reliable journalist Anthony Joseph.**

### The Lowdown: Bernabei heading to Celtic

Hopefully the Hoops have a productive summer in the transfer window ahead of them as Ange Postecoglou strengthens his options for next season.

One player who looks to be on the verge of a move to Celtic is Bernabei, who has excelled at left-back for Argentine side Lanus, becoming a key figure for the club at just 21. He started 23 league games for them last season and was their fourth-best player according to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/899/Archive/Argentina-Lanus) performance metrics.

It now looks as though the youngster’s proposed move to Parkhead is edging closer all the time.

### The Latest: Joseph drops Bernabei transfer claim

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/AnthonyRJoseph/status/1540588086278717442?s=20&t=2o4A3SIVwtZGH3ztsFnH8w) on Saturday, Joseph claimed that Bernabei would have a medical at Celtic imminently, with the £3.75m move potentially being completed before Monday.

The reporter tweeted:

> “UPDATE: Alexandro Bernabei is due to undergo his medical at Celtic this weekend, before signing a long-term contract. The deal with Lanus is £3.75m, with a 10% sell-on clause. Bernabei & Jota are expected to be with the Celtic squad travelling to Austria for pre-season in July.”

### The Verdict: Strong summer addition

Left-back is an area which [could do with added depth](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/celtic-glasgow/kadernachposition/verein/371) this summer for Celtic, with Greg Taylor a good option there but more rotation needed ahead of a hectic 2022/23 campaign.

Bernabei looks like an exciting addition in that respect, coming in as a young player who can mature into a force for the [Premiership](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/scottish-premiership-news/) champions, having [won one cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alexandro-bernabei/profil/spieler/719635) for Argentina’s under-23s to date and established a reputation as a tough tackler – his average of [two per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/899/Archive/Argentina-Lanus) last term was better than any of the [Hoops’ regulars](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/103/Show/Scotland-Celtic).

The defender may not come in as an immediate first-team regular as he adjusts to his new surroundings, but over time there is no reason why he can’t become first choice under Postecoglou at Parkhead.
