Monza have reportedly stepped their interest in Celtic star Josip Juranovic and have tabled an initial offer for the full-back
The minnows may be looking over their shoulder at the relegation scrap in Serie A but that has not stopped them targeting the Celtic defender amid major competition from Barcelona, Manchester United and Chelsea off the back of an impressive World Cup campaign. The Croat became a World Cup star after a string of top performances in Qatar including a man of the match display against Brazil that helped his nation reach the semi-finals and eventually finish in third place.
Having returned to Scottish Premiership action against Rangers speculation over a move has only intensified and the Italian side, who only earned promotion to the top flight this term, have reportedly made their move for the 27-year-old. The Parkhead board may have expected a bumper offer from Monza to land one of their prize assets, with the Serie A side backed by controversial former Italian president Silvio Berlusconi.
