Full back Alexandro Bernabei is moving closer to a deal with Celtic with a "verbal agreement" in place with Lanus.
It is set for another busy season for the Ange Postecoglou’s men as they return to the Champions League and look to build on their Double winning heroics of the last campaign. Beranabei is set to arrive for a £3.75million fee and provide competition for Greg Taylor.
Argentinian reporter Cesar Luis Merlo claims a deal is close to completion, with a verbal agreement now struck. Bernabei was sent off in his likely final game for Lanus for a headbutt but was a firm fan favourite since making his first team breakthrough. He has been capped at youth level by his country and will now aim to make himself a star in Europe.
Luis Merlo tweeted: "There is verbal agreement for Alexander Bernabei to go to Celtic in Scotland.
"Lanús is exchanging documentation for an operation that is carried out for 90 per cent of the economic rights."

Journalist Tim Vickery praised Celtic's recruit of the the 21-year-old at the weekend, describing the full-back as "almost a left-winger."
He said: "He has got that capacity to get into the penalty area and score goals. nice left foot, good with set pieces, quick, interesting."
