Celtic in line for unexpected transfer windfall as forgotten defender set for La Liga

Celtic could be set for an unexpected windfall with La Liga side Sevilla weighing up a big money move for Alexandro Bernabei....just six months after the Hoops banked £4 million from selling him to Brazil.

The Argentinian full back joined Internacional in Brazil's Serie A in January after impressing on loan and has been tipped to win a call-up for world champions Argentina.

His displays have caught the eye of Sevilla, who have now twice sent scouts to watch him, including his latest game against Juventude and are set to swoop for him when the Spanish transfer window reopens in July.

It's believed Celtic insisted on a sell-on clause for the 24-year-old when they concluded the deal earlier this year, with Bernabei signing a three-year deal in South America.

His club are having to make significant financial cutbacks after posting a £6 million loss last month and are looking to sell some of their star men.

Sevilla have endured a disappointing season after flirting with relegation from La Liga and want to rebuild for next season and have targeted Bernabei.

Bernabei made 28 appearances for Celtic in total since arriving from Lanus in 2022 and scored one goal at Ross County.
