Josip Juranovic Celtic transfer exit laughed off by fans with pointed Albian Ajeti advice

Full-back Josip Juranovic has been linked with a move away from Celtic - and the fans have come up with a hilarious contingency plan.

The Croat has become an instant favourite with supporters during his debut campaign after playing a key role in the Premiership title success.

Transfer guru Fabrizio Romano says his form has caught the attention of clubs with "many" unnamed outfits chasing a deal.

He states that English Premier League sides are waiting to tempt Celtic into a sale this summer.

But the Parkhead fans have come up with a cunning plan on social media to keep Juranoivic in Glasgow's east end.

Fans have been quick to try to mislead Romano and potential suitors into thinking Albian Ajeti is actually Juranovic.

The light-hearted quips saw one supporter comment on the status with a snap of the forgotten Swiss striker pitched as a lookalike.

They commented on Twitter: "DEAR ALL PREMIER LEAGUE CLUBS; This is Josip Juranovic. Regards, The Celtic Support."

Another shared a picture of Ajeti adding: "This is Josip Juranovic. You are welcome to buy him."

Well, they do both have dark hair and a beard, maybe Ange Postecoglou will try the same thing?
