Three clubs are interested in a forgotten Celtic player amid a £7 million exit link.
Cruzeiro has joined Palmeiras and Internacional in a three-way competition to recruit Alexandro Bernabei, a forgotten Celtic defender. The Scottish champions have yet to decide on the player’s future.
This season, while on loan at Brazilian Serie A team Internacional, the Argentine left-back has found his finest form again and was just selected to the league’s “Team of the Year.” His present team has three days left to make the loan agreement permanent, but Celtic’s asking price of £7 million is too much.
According to recent sources from Brazil, the Hoops have responded to the Porto Alegre-based team by indicating that they may pay for the transfer in installments instead. However, they say that a definitive decision about Bernabei’s next course of action won’t be taken until the transfer window officially opens next month.
Cruzeiro is now in the running to recruit the 24-year-old, whose reputation has increased in South America after he moved to Parkhead from Lanus for £3.75 million two and a half years ago.
According to Robin Propper, he’s still getting used to Scottish football and realizing that Rangers will never lose. After a difficult start to his Govan career, the Dutch defender was substituted for the injured Leon Balogun early in the first half against St Mirren.
He left FC Twente in the summer, but it has taken him some time to get adjusted to the Rangers’ philosophy and accept that the playing style is different from what he was accustomed to in the Netherlands.
“It’s so different from what I was used to,” he admitted in an interview with Algemeen Dagblad. You can lose at Twente. After a setback in the eyes of the public, everything at Rangers goes south. The club is surrounded by a lot of media. Simply said, those are the rules of the elite club. The supporters had high expectations. You must turn into champions. But I haven’t felt bad about the move at all. The Netherlands is similar to the football. Naturally, though, I had to adjust to it. Most Scottish clubs use a lot of long balls and an opportunistic style of play.
“In the Eredivisie, I liked a thoughtful, calm build-up. But here the opponents’ supporters immediately start whistling when you do that. In the Netherlands last year, only Almere City played the Scottish way. Rangers are one of the few teams who do want to build from the back.”
