‘A lot of interested parties’ – Celtic Gear Up for January Bidding War

JOSIP JURANOVIC’s brother and footballer, Dragan Juranovic, has told Croatian media he can’t say much about his brother’s immediate future but did make it clear there’s interest in the Celtic star.

Dragan, 28, plays for HSK Zrinjski Mostar and has been talking about his brother’s exploits in the World Cup when talk about transfer rumours came up.

As cited by SunSport, Dragan said:  “I’m not allowed to say anything about it, but there are a lot of interested parties, so we’ll see.”

It won’t come as a big surprise to Celtic fans that there is tangible interest in the right-back, considering Celtic have gone out and signed another right-back this month.

Alistair Johnston has come in and made the right side of the defence look rather crowded. It would make sense for the Hoops to bring in Alistair if they’re aware of the same interest as Dragan speaks about.

Josip is doing himself and his country proud at the World Cup. The Celtic star is now a World Cup semi-finalist and has a massive match against Argentina. After putting out Brazil in the last round, Croatia will be looking to cause another upset.

Whatever happens, Josip will be at the World Cup until the end. The two defeated teams in the World Cup play each other to be placed third and fourth.
