Former Celtic star wanted by Barcelona as Real Madrid joined in transfer race by rivals

Barcelona have been linked with a stunning move for Muirhouse's Kieran Tierney as interest grows in the former Celtic left-back.

Cule Mania report that Barca have 'good reports' of the Muirhouse man. They view him as a potential replacement in the medium-term for long-serving star Jordi Alba.

But the Catalan giants are also monitoring several other candidates, including AC Milan's Theo Hernández and Benfica's Alex Grimaldo, who was a product of the club's famed academy system.

It comes after reports that Real Madrid have an interest in Tierney challenging current left-back Ferland Mendy at the Bernabeu.

Arsenal bought Tierney from Celtic in 2019 at around £25 million and they are said to be irked over interest from Madrid in their star full-back.

A weekend Premier League win over Brentford saw the Muirhouse star and Scotland international handed the Gunners armband for a short while.
