Alexandro Bernabei set for Celtic five year deal as defender to 'arrive in Scotland this week' to complete medical

Argentinian Alexandro Bernabei is set to arrive in Scotland before the end of the week to complete his medical ahead of signing five-year deal at Celtic, according to a report in his homeland.

The 21-year-old was captured on video saying his farewells at current club Lanus who have agreed to sell the attacking full back to the Scottish Premiership champions in a deal worth just short of £4 million. Bernabei is due to fly from South America to Scotland where he will become Celtic’s third permanent signing of the summer following deals for Cameron Carter-Vickers and Benjamin Siegrist, the former Dundee United goalkeeper who was paraded at Parkhead.

Respected journalist Cesar Luis Merlo wrote on Twitter: “Alexandro Bernabei, a 21-year-old winger, will arrive in Scotland this week. Once he has passed the medical check-ups he will sign for five years with Celtic. Lanus sold 90 per cent of the economic rights and kept 10 per cent.”
