Brendan Rodgers has been asked about Alexandro Bernabei and whether he would play for Celtic again.
The Argentine defender has been out of sight, out of mind for the Hoops this season. Bernabei joined Internacional on loan earlier this year and has since impressed in Brazil.
He has appeared 21 times in all competitions for Porto Alegre, providing four assists and scoring three goals.
Several Brazilian clubs are interested in signing the 24-year-old on a permanent basis due to his impressive performances.
Corinthians and other teams were reportedly interested in an £8 million deal if Internacional declined.
Celts, however, have been satisfied with Alex Valle’s performance since his loan move from Barcelona, while first-choice Greg Taylor continues to set the standard.
Brendan Rodgers says Celtic will ‘look and see’ regarding Bernabei’s future in January
However, when a member of the media asked Rodgers about the forgotten Berna this afternoon, he responded honestly.
The manager recognised the left-back’s success at his current club and recognised that some players are better suited to one culture than another.
When asked if the custodian would be given another chance in Glasgow, the Northern Irishman declined to disclose anything.

“I think it’s fantastic that he went abroad and did well; sometimes you just find that.
“I think he’d been here for a while, but it hadn’t worked out as well as he or the club had hoped, and when that happens, you go away, you go back into a different culture or a different life, and for him, it was back to South America, and the reports I’ve heard are that he’s done well.
