JOSIP JURANOVIC is set to leave Celtic this January, with many clubs interested in luring the 27-year-old after an impressive World Cup display, especially after his performance against Brazil.

It’s no longer a question of if the player leaves; it’s how much will Celtic receive for him and where will he head to?
On Wednesday night, the Daily Record published an article that detailed that Italian club Torino had an approach knocked back by Celtic. The Serie A side has previously spent £8.5 million on a player, and to date, it’s their record fee.
The tabloid reports that Celtic are looking for at least double the £8.5 million Torino have previously forked out. That would see Celtic get £17 million with some additional add-ons and so on.
For a player in their prime, on excellent form on the world’s biggest stage, Celtic should be looking to break the record fee that they received from Kieran Tierney, especially when you consider Juranovic has a contract until 2026.
It’ll be interesting to see what the club does receive in January for the player, with a potential bidding war on the Horizon.
