Juventus have reportedly joined the race for Celtic’s in-demand defender Kieran Tierney.
The Italian champions are the latest club to cast their eye over the 21-year-old, who Everton had been in talks for before withdrawing interest to focus on other targets, according to the Daily Record.
It is understood that Brendan Rodgers’ side have a £30million asking price for their left-back and that Juventus see him as a potential replacement for Alex Sandro this summer if they lose the Brazilian.
The Daily Record continues to explain that Manchester United have also had a long-term interest in Tierney.
Celtic have been extremely successful in the last two years under Rodgers by winning a double-treble in domestic competitions and Tierney has been at the heart of that.
The left-sided flyer has proven he has the defensive discipline and has already represented Scotland nine times, while he is also a serious threat going forward.
He managed a total of 11 assists across all competitions last season for the Bhoys and is often seen in advanced areas for a team that usually dominates possession.
Tierney is definitely a fan favourite at Celtic given his importance to the team and his rise from their academy, but it’s understandable that some elite teams are circling for him after continuing to impress at Parkhead.
