Open Goal Broomhill boss Si Ferry feels Josip Juranovic's Celtic transfer fee could be lower than expected due to his age.

The right-back finished third at the World Cup with Croatia and put on a string of excellent performances along the way.

He has been linked with a move to a host of clubs across Europe despite being contracted to the Hoops till the summer of 2026.

Ferry rates the 27-year-old but thinks that if he does leave in the near future, then there is a chance the Scottish champions may not get as much of a return as they hoping for.

Speaking to Grosvenor Sport, he said: "Josip Juranovic should maybe be going for a bit more than £20m in today's market but then you look at his age and wonder whether teams will want to be paying more when this will probably be his last move and there won't be a buy-on again.

"We saw clubs battle for a 22-year-old Kieran Tierney for around £25m, whereas Juranovic is 27 years old.

"If you pay over £30m, are you going to get that again when he hits 30 or 31 years old? I don't think so.

"That, for me, is the only reason why clubs aren't paying over £20m.

"If Juranovic was a 25-year-old, I think we'd be looking at £30million-£35million after the World Cup that he's just had."
