Celtic are waiting to see if Manchester United make a move for defender Josip Juranovic this month as they consider selling the Croatian.
That’s according to the Daily Record, who claim that Celtic are seemingly hanging on in the hope of securing Juranovic.
The Bhoys have received interest from the likes of Monza and Espanyol with both clubs hoping to secure loan deals with options or obligations to buy.
Yet Celtic seemingly hope that United come in with an offer for Juranovic, maybe believing that they can get the best deal from the Red Devils.
United have shown an interest in Juranovic, possibly with the idea of replacing Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
Diogo Dalot has picked up an injury though and with Wan-Bissaka turning in decent displays of late, it’s unclear whether United are still keen on Juranovic.
Josip Juranovic will surely leave Celtic this month
There have been rumours about Juranovic’s future for months now, with many clubs interested in snapping him up.
Celtic appeared to signal that they were planning to life after Juranovic by signing Alistair Johnston.
Johnston joined from CF Montreal after impressing for Canada at the World Cup and is a right back by trade.
Ange Postecoglou showed his faith in Johnston by throwing him in for his debut against Rangers at Ibrox.
Johnston now looks set to be Celtic’s first-choice right back for the foreseeable future, which leaves the feeling of Juranovic going.
Anthony Ralston is also in the mix and Juranovic is hardly going to want to play second fiddle if other clubs want him.
We can’t really see United making a move now Wan-Bissaka is impressing again, and that means Juranovic may end up heading elsewhere.
Italy or Spain seem like the most likely destinations right now, with other Premier League rumours dying down a little of late.
