Alexandro Bernabei opens up journey to Celtic as he insists 6000 Parkhead fans have been gained from his village

Alexandro Bernabei was brought up in a small village of 6000 residents and the new Celtic star is thrilled to make them all proud. Bernabei revealed the entire population are already fans of Ange Postecoglou ’s team after his arrival at Parkhead.

The 21-year-old admits he’s fulfilling a lifetime dream by joining Celtic, and his signing of a five-year deal means he’s the first individual from his country in history to move to the club. Bernabei is thrilled to have made the jump. As much for how it will make the people of Correa feel as for his own career.

He said: “I grew up in a small village of 6000 people in the province of Santa Fe. The name of the town was Correa. There wasn’t a lot of chances in the village. Especially as we didn’t leave the village. But then I moved to Lanus and that’s when I had my opportunity to play football.
