Josip Juranovic to Celtic talks intensify as Ange Postecoglou 'makes fresh push' for £3m Croatian

Josip Juranovic is closer to becoming a Celtic player, according to a report, after the Parkhead club re-opened talks with the Croatian.

The right-back has been previously linked with a move and presents a potential solution to a persistent problem position ever since Jeremie Frimpong's January move to Bayer Leverkusen.

And the Daily Record claim Ange Postecoglou's side have returned to the table with Legia Warsaw.

Discussions previously broke down when the club were unwilling to match a £3m asking price.

But with a loan move for Manchester City's Yan Couto now looking unlikely they have returned for the Euro 2020 star.

Anthony Ralston, for the meantime, has stepped in admirably with two sensational goals against Hearts and Dundee to boot.

But as he plans for a Europa League play-off against AZ Alkmaar, Postecoglou and the Hoops hierarchy are claimed to be keen to get the Juranovic deal over the line.

Legia are also more receptive to a sale having crashed out of the Champions League and even their Europa League clash – against last season's quarter-finalists Slavia Prague – is looking like a tall order.
