Forgotten Celtic ace Bernabei sees transfer value soar as he scoops end-of-year gong

Celtic loan star Alexandro Bernabei has been named in the Brazilian FA's team of the season.

The Argentinian full back joined Brazilian Serie A side Internacional in March and helped the Porto Alegre club reach fifth place in the league.

He's even been touted for a call-up to the World Cup holders' squad after an outstanding season.

And he's been rewarded for his fine performances after the Brazilian FA chose their Team of the Season and picked Bernabei at left back.

He played 23 times for Internacional in their season - exactly the same number of games he played for Celtic - and scored three goals against Atletico Mineiro, Corinthians and Juventude.

Reports in South America have indicated Celtic are looking for £8 million for his loan club to make the move permanent next month.

The Confederation of Brazilian Football team of the season was: John (Botafogo), Bastos (Botafogo), Wesley (Flamengo), Alexander Barboza (Botafogo), Alexandro Bernabei (Internacional), Gerson (Flamengo), Marlon Freitas (Botafogo), Rodrigo Garro (Corinthians), Alan Patrick (Internacional), Luiz Henrique (Botafogo), Estevao (Palmeiras).
