Josip Juranovic could leave Celtic with Fabrizio Romano claiming that the defender is now expected to move to the Premier League this summer.
Celtic will of course be looking to keep their squad together after a superb title-winning season under Ange Postecoglou.
Fans are hoping to see new signings come in but making sure players like Kyogo Furuhashi and Liel Abada stay put will be vital.
Both of those players only arrived last summer, but that isn’t stopping rumours surrounding the future of defender Juranovic.
Josip Juranovic could leave Celtic
Fabrizio Romano reports that Juranovic is now expected to leave Celtic this summer.
Romano claims that ‘many clubs’ are interested in signing Juranovic and his destination could end up being the Premier League.
Celtic pounced to sign defender Juranovic from Legia Warsaw last summer, paying just £2.5million to land him.
The 26-year-old had impressed in Poland and he certainly took that form to Celtic last season.
Juranovic notched five goals and two assists in 35 games last season whilst playing admirably at both left back and right back.
Juranovic is naturally right-footed but split his time on either flank as his versatility became vital for Ange Postecoglou.
That versatility is bound to attract interest though and Premier League clubs may see Juranovic as an adaptable player.
For instance, Leicester City love signing players who can play at left back and right back; just look at James Justin, Timothy Castagne and Ricardo Pereira.
Romano even suggested back in February that Leicester were keen on signing Juranovic with former Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers no doubt aware of his quality.
Romano claimed that any fee for Juranovic would be around €10million to €15million (£8.5million to £13million), potentially giving Celtic huge profit.
Celtic won’t exactly want to lose Juranovic, but tripling or even quadrupling their money on the defender inside a year could be too good to turn down.
