Bemused John Hartson reckons Celtic should be holding out for DOUBLE the £7million tabled by Monza for prize asset Josip Juranovic.
The Serie A side have launched an ambitious bid to snap up the defender amid major competition from Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea after impressing at the World Cup for Croatia on route to the semi-final and a third-placed finish. His performance in the tournament led to skyrocketing valuations and an initial £15million price tag placed on the frontman Monza have reportedly put a lowball offer forward with Torino also considering a bid at a similar fee.
Former Parkhead hero Hartson reckons that the club should stand firm on their initial valuation as he compared Juranovic to fellow full-back Achraf Hakimi, who impressed for Morocco on route to the semi-final at Qatar 2022. Hakimi left Inter Milan for a blockbuster £64million figure when he joined Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
