Celtic in Alexandro Bernabei coup as future £20 million player tipped for Argentina national team call

He has arrived for a fee of £3.75 million - but Alexandro Bernabei could go on to become a £20 million man and an Argentina international over his stint at Celtic.

The Hoops made history last week when they officially confirmed the 21-year-old had signed from boyhood club Lanus. He is the club's first-ever Argentinian and will compete with Scotland international Greg Taylor for the left-back role in boss Ange Postecoglou's starting XI. It's set to be a big season at Parkhead with a Premiership title defence to be had alongside Champions League group stage football.

Bernabei broke into the Lanus team pre-pandemic and made 87 appearances for them. Capped by his country at youth level, Argentine football commentator and Golazo Argentino editor Peter Coates believes it's a smart choice by the Hoops. He believes that the attack-minded player will be going to Glasgow looking to use it as a platform for international recognition.
