Benfica midfielder Paulo Bernardo's loan move to Celtic has been all but confirmed after a squad announcement from Portugal's U21s.

The playmaker has been named in his country's squad ahead of the upcoming international fixtures.

Portuguese television have Bernardo listed as a Hoops player in a squad graphic.

He has reportedly already undergone a medical with the Parkhead club and now it looks like an announcement will be imminent.

Bernardo will become Brendan Rodgers' third signing in a matter of days as the race is on to make sure he is available for the clash at Ibrox.

In a similar arrangement to his former team-mate Jota upon his initial loan switch to Celtic in 2021, it's believed the Parkhead club will have the option to buy the midfielder at the end of the season.
