Celtic’s move for Legia Warsaw’s Josip Juranovic is still on, according to Izak Ante Sucic, a journalist in the player's homeland.
The Lowdown: Friday report
Polish reporter Tomasz Wlodarczyk claimed on Friday that a move for the £6,100-a-week ace has expired.
He suggested that Celtic had other options in mind to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s squad.
Juranovic, who has played as a right-midfielder in each of his six starts this season, has 10 caps to his name for Croatia, and it seems as if a move to Glasgow could well be back on.
The Latest: Sucic’s post
Sucic, who reports for Germanijak, took to Twitter on Monday afternoon to provide an update on Juranovic.
He revealed that a potential move to Scotland is still on, however, a transfer may take more time.
Sucic also claimed that Juranovic is personally interested in signing for the Hoops.
The Verdict: McKay onto a winner?
Even though Juranovic has featured as a right-midfielder this season, you’d expect he’d be used as a right-back by Postecoglou.
CEO Dominic McKay could well be onto a winner, especially, with a €3m transfer fee previously being touted.
If a move goes through at that price, Celtic may well be getting Juranovic at the prime of his career at 26 years of age and career-high Transfermarkt valuation.
He’s capable of playing at right-back, centre-back and as a right-midfielder, so his versatility could prove extremely handy, especially with Anthony Ralston in fine form at right-back.
