Celtic fans have welcomed reported interest in Croatia international right-back Josip Juranovic.

According to , the Hoops have turned their attention away from Aurelio Buta.

Celtic would reportedly have to pay over £5million for the Antwerp right-back, a valuation they’re not willing to match.

Meanwhile, Juranovic could potentially cost Celtic just £2.5million, added .

And he’s apparently keen on a move to Parkhead too.

In addition, Legia Warsaw are no longer in the Champions League after Dinamo Zagreb knocked them out last night.

Therefore, they may need to sell Juranovic to recoup funds after dropping out of the lucrative competition.

The 25-year-old is a high-calibre player with plenty of top-level football under his belt.

In addition, he’s forged a reputation as a bit of an assist king, claiming 10 assists from just 40 Legia games last term.

Needless to say, some Celtic fans really want Juranovic at Parkhead this summer:

We better bloody sign him now. Getting too hyped about this one.

Juranovic has potential to be an excellent Celtic signing. Started out RB last season then excelled out wide in 3-4-3 /3-5-2. Highly flexible, attacking, good crosser, finished with 8 assists+got better+better as season went on. Form got him into the Croatia set-up for the Euros.
