In demand Fausto Vera is attempting to negotiate a move away from Argentinos Juniors this summer amid links with Celtic, according to the player's agent Kristian Bereit.
The 22-year-old has been linked with a move to Parkhead as Ange Postecoglou eyes up an alternative for Vinicius Souza after talks of his transfer were put to bed when he joined Espanyol from Lommel in Belgium. The Hoops boss is turning his attention back to Argentina after securing 21-year-old left back Alexandro Bernabei this window.
Brazilian side Corinthians have made a formal offer of €6million for 70 per cent of the economic rights for the midfielder, while the Argentinian club have also reportedly received a similar offer from Belgian First Division side K.A.A. Gent, according to media in Brazil. The Argentina U23 international still has six months left on his contract at the Primera División side, with the club having the option to extend his stay by a further year.
However, ICM Stellar Sports agent Bereit admits the club have still to green light a big money move away from the club. He states that Vera is keen to make a move to a top league, but is locked in talks with the Argentinian side.
He told MARCA : "There are a number of clubs fighting to sign Fausto. He is a top player, it is normal that there is a lot of interest. As you can see, despite this, he continues to give everything for his childhood team, Argentinos Juniors. We are currently working with the board to, hopefully, reach an agreement for his departure,"
