Barcelona want Josip Juranovic as Celtic transfer 'interest' escalates after World Cup heroics

Barcelona are reportedly in the hunt to sign Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic after his World Cup heroics with Croatia.

Juranovic is one of Ange Postecoglou's key men but the club are thought to be open to selling him next month with interest higher than ever after he starred for Croatia on their way to third place in Qatar. The club have hit deadlock over contract talks and signed Canadian international Alistair Johnston, potentially with a view to Juranovic departing.

A number of clubs in England and mainland Europe are keen on the 27-year-old and it was recently reported that Roma had joined the hunt. Now Sky Sports are reporting Barcelona are interested after being linked previously, as well as long-standing suitors Atletico Madrid two unnamed Premier League clubs. Ange Postecoglou's team are believed to be holding out for a fee north of £15million, a mega profit on the £2.6m they paid Legia Warsaw 18 months ago.
