Celtic are in the market for a left-back this summer to compete with Greg Taylor. Liverpool’s Owen Beck has been linked, along with Hugo Bueno of Wolves.
One man the Hoops currently have out on loan, though, is Alexandro Bernabei.
Signed from Lanus two years ago, the defender came in with high potential. He never settled in Glasgow, though, and failed to nail down a place in the team.
He resultantly departed Celtic on loan in March, joining Brazilian top-flight side Internacional.
Reports in June suggested the 23-year-old’s one-year loan could have been cut short, but he has since got a run in the team after barely playing.
Indeed, Bernabei has appeared in each of his side’s last three games, most recently starting in a 1-1 draw with Palmeiras overnight.
Internacional, who sit just above the relegation zone in Brazil’s top flight, earned an impressive point against the reigning champions. They were close to winning, the visitors equalising in the last minute of the 90.
At left-back, Bernabei played the full game, for the second time in a row.
He has been reliable for his team of late and is due back at Celtic at the end of the calendar year.
