Alexander Bernabei in emotional Lanus farewell as move to Celtic edges closer

Alexander Bernabei in emotional Lanus farewell as move to Celtic edges closer

IT seems Celtic fans will have a new signing to be excited about very soon. 

It's anticipated that Alexander Bernabei is on the verge of completing his move to Parkhead. 

The 21-year-old is said to be on his way to Glasgow ahead of his £4million switch from Lanus.

Earlier today we told you how reports in Argentina suggested that a verbal agreement had been struck between the clubs over the transfer. 

Now, Bernabei has been caught on camera paying a fond farewell to his teammates ahead of the move.

He was mobbed by his friends at the club, as they wished him well in the emotional scenes.

As well as receiving plenty of hugs, Bernabei himself gave a thumbs up to the camera. 

He will become Ange Postecoglou's second summer signing, having already secured Cameron Carter-Vickers on a permanent deal earlier in the window.

It remains to be seen whether Bernabei will be in town for the start of Celtic's pre-season training next week.
