Josip Juranovic earned major praise from former Germany manager Jurgen Klinsmann for his performance during Croatia's stunning World Cup quarter-final victory against Brazil.
The Celtic full-back was arguably the best player on the pitch during the first half before his side went on to beat Brazil on penalties after a 1-1 draw. His display could persuade some leading European clubs to make a January move for the former Hajduk Split and Legia Warsaw player after reports claimed a failure to land an improved contract had prompted the full-back to seek a transfer.
Celtic's recent signing of Canada right-back Alistair Johnston is expected to speed up Juranovic's exit from Glasgow with Atletico Madrid said to have sent a scout to watch him in the Qatar last eight showdown. They will have been impressed with what they witnessed with La Liga outfit Real Sociedad also reportedly keen. Manchester United and Chelsea are other clubs also previously mentioned with regards to Ange Postecoglou's right-back.
