Josip Juranovic expected to exit Celtic after president speaks out – pundit
Alan Hutton has suggested Celtic defender Josip Juranovic would struggle to turn down a move to the Premier League or La Liga.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the former Rangers right-back said that playing for โthe best league in the worldโ could sway Juranovic.
On 20 June, journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed that the 26-year-old would be leaving Parkhead this summer.
Speaking to Spanish outlet AS (27 June), Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo said the club were interested in signing a right-back.
Romano provided an update (28 June) that the La Liga giants have not made a bid for the Croatia international yet.
When asked if the Celtic defender would be open to leaving the Hoops, Hutton told Football Insider: โI think it depends what the concrete offer is.
โIf this is far down the line and Atletico Madrid are willing to stump up the cash for him.
โWe know theyโve had bother at full-back since [Kieran] Trippier left to go to Newcastle so theyโre obviously in the market for someone of a good standard.
โWould England sway him? Possibly, I think itโs the best league in the world. If youโre talking about a team thatโs going to go for top ten down south, he would probably rather that because it is one of the best leagues.
โBut Spain is very attractive. I think if it does come down to that it would be hard to turn down.โ
