Josip wants the move to Celtic – it’s unknown yet what his wage demands will be but Celtic will have already put feelers out to his representatives and will know ball park figures.
Josip became the main target for Celtic after the club dropped their interest in Manchester City’s Yan Couto who is on his way to Braga.
Juranovic played in this summer’s Euro 2020 tournament, he’s won the league with Legia Warsaw and has a lot of the attributes Ange is looking for.

A right back is a major part of the puzzle for Celtic. Ralston has performed well since coming in but you get the feeling we need someone to excel in the role if the club are to really mount a credible title challenge.
