It is being reported that Serie A club Monza are in talks to sign Celtic fullback Josip Juranovic [@NicoSchira].
If the 27-year-old was to make the switch to the Italian side, it is believed that initially the deal would be a loan with option to buy which would become an obligation if they stayed in Serie A.
The club currently sit 15th in the league and it would likely come as a surprise to many if the deal went ahead.
Juranovic was a standout player for Croatia at the World Cup as they finished third in the tournament.
In recent weeks, speculation about his future has been intensifying as Celtic signed Canadian international Alistair Johnston who is likely his fellow fullback’s replacement.
Johnston was given the nod to start at Ibrox in the New Year’s derby at right back and had it not been for Greg Taylor’s injury it is unlikely that Juranovic would have featured for the league leaders.

There is still plenty of time for a bidding war to commence but at present, the Hoops are yer to receive any concrete offers for the former Legia Warsaw defenders services who is contracted to the Scottish champions until 2026.
