Celtic transfer meeting 'wanted' as officials fly in

Celtic chiefs are reportedly wanted for imminent transfer talks, according to a report.

Internacional officials are believed to be planning face-to-face discussions with the Scottish Premiership champions in order to thrash out a deal for Alexandro Bernabei.

The left-back may have failed to make the desired impact in Scotland, but he's proving a hit in South America. 

Since joining the Brazilian outfit on loan back in March, Bernabei has scored three goals, and made four assists in his 30 appearances.

As a result, Internacional want to turn his loan into a permanent deal. 

Celtic aren't likely to be difficult to deal with, as Brendan Rodgers clearly didn't fancy the Argentine defender.

That said, it's believed the Hoops have slapped a valuation of over £8m on his head.

That could be off-putting for the Brazilians. 

And the Scottish Sun reports that officials from Inter are due to fly into Europe for several recruitment meetings - some of which will involve discussing Bernabei's situation.

His Parkhead contract is due to expire in the summer of 2027, with his loan in Brazil up next month.

So, Inter will now attempt to talk the Hoops into cutting their losses on Bernabei, who was signed from Lanus for £3.75m in 2022.

He's made just 28 appearances in Celtic colours since Ange Postecoglou brought him to the club.
