Alexandro Bernabei’s loan spell at Internacional from Celtic has not unfolded as hoped, following a challenging tenure at Parkhead.

Since his £4.5 million transfer under former manager Ange Postecoglou, Bernabei has struggled to cement his place, a situation that has persisted following his move to the Brazilian club earlier this year.

This sole outing came on April 11, and despite frequently making the matchday squad, he has been an unused substitute in nine subsequent games, including Sunday’s fixture where he watched from the sidelines, again.

He was actually awarded Man of the Match on his debut.

The 23-year-old’s challenges began early in his loan period, marked by an initial mishap where he missed his flight to Brazil. Since then, his opportunities to impress have been scarce, casting doubt on his future impact at Internacional.

Back at Celtic, the Scottish champions have limited options at left-back, primarily relying on Greg Taylor in that position. Bernabei’s difficulties in gaining playing time and making a significant impact raise questions about his next steps once his loan spell concludes.
