Chelsea Weighing Up Juranovic Deal – Report

Celtic star Josip Juranovic is reported to be attracting from English Premier League sides with Chelsea and Manchester United reportedly interested in the fullback [90 Min]. 

The Croatian defender has already been subject to previous transfer rumours during this window as he was linked to Spanish outfit Atletico Madrid.

Both sides are in need of defenders with 26-year old being considered as a possible target.

Juranovic had an outstanding season during Ange Postecoglou’s first year at Celtic and played a vital part in the success which came the Hoops way as they won the Premiership and League Cup.

He has started both of Celtic’s opening matches this season and will be hoping to get as much game time as possible under his belt before the World Cup in November.

The Hoops have the lure of Champions League football to offer any player but it was reported amidst the Atletico speculation that Celtic would consider a fee in the region of £15 million to be acceptable.

It would be a mistake to let the Croatian defender go at this point as the team and squad at Celtic are fairly settled. With both the Champions League and World Cup to come it is likely that the fullbacks value will only increase meaning that it would be naive to sell just now.
