Goodbye, Flop? Celtic Player Who failed Woefully in Meeting Expectations After Being Signed With High Hopes and Recently Tied to a Long-term Contract is SET to Leave in January….

Celtic Set to Offload Alexandro Bernabei in January Despite Long-Term Contract

Celtic left-back Alexandro Bernabei’s future at the club hangs in the balance, with reports suggesting he is likely to depart in the January transfer window. Despite signing a five-year contract in June 2022, Bernabei has struggled to establish himself in the Hoops’ first team.

Falling Down the Pecking Order

The 24-year-old Argentine has made just 28 appearances for Celtic, with nine of those coming in the previous campaign. His lack of playing time has led to a loan spell at Brazilian side Internacional, where he has featured 17 times and scored twice.

No Interest in Keeping Him

According to sources, Celtic have no interest in retaining Bernabei’s services beyond January. The club is reportedly eyeing a new defender, paving the way for Bernabei’s exit.

Bernabei’s Initial Enthusiasm

Upon joining Celtic, Bernabei expressed his excitement about playing in Europe and working under then-manager Ange Postecoglou. “I spoke to the manager and he said he believed in me and my quality and that I can adapt to the team quickly… The objective is to become champion and we want to achieve big things as a club.”

Unfulfilled Potential

Bernabei’s Celtic career has failed to live up to expectations, and his departure would mark a swift end to his Parkhead tenure. As the first Argentine player to don the Hoops, his exit would also signify an unsuccessful experiment.

What Next for Bernabei?

With his contract set to expire in June 2027, Celtic must decide whether to cut their losses or seek a suitable transfer fee. Bernabei’s future now hangs in the balance, as the Scottish Premiership champions prepare for a busy January transfer window.
