Celtic defender Josip Juranovic is reportedly in "advanced talks" with Union Berlin, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.

The Croatian has been the subject of much transfer speculation after his performances at the World Cup in Qatar.

And now Romano claims the Bundesliga side are favourites to land the 27-year-old's signature.

Writing on social media, he said: "Croatia international right back Josip Juranović close to joining Union Berlin from Celtic. Talks very advanced between clubs and player side. 

"Negotiations are at final stages. Here we go expected soon."

 

The right-back has started the Hoops' last two games against Kilmarnock and St Mirren, filling in for the injured Greg Taylor in the latter fixture.

Juranovic signed for the Parkhead side from Legia Warsaw in the summer of 2021 and currently still has three-and-a-half years left on his contract.

Quizzed on transfers in his most recent press conference and asked about players potentially leaving the club, Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou said: "At the moment there is progress with incomings and outgoings but nothing confirmed yet.

"We are obviously getting to the tail end of the window and I expect progress over the next few days.

"Until I hear otherwise, I expect them all to be Celtic players. There has been some progress with all those kinds of issues and we will see how it all plays out."
