Josip Juranovic 'to stay at Celtic this summer despite Premier League interest'

Juranovic 'to stay at Celtic this summer despite PL interest'

Celtic full-back Josip Juranovic is reportedly set to stay at Parkhead this summer despite interest from a number of Premier League clubs.

The 26-year-old, who joined the Hoops last summer, was a standout performer for Ange Postecoglou's title-winning side in 2021-22, recording six goals and four assists in 44 appearances across all competitions.

The Croatia international's form in his first season at the club was recognised as he was one of six Celtic players named in the PFA Scottish Premiership Team of the Year.

Juranovic is understood to have attracted interest from 'many clubs', including teams in the Premier League, with journalist Fabrizio Romano claiming that the full-back is expected to leave this summer.

However, Croatian journalist Izak Ante Sucic claims that Juranovic will not be making the switch to England or to any other club this summer, as he does not want to jeopardise his chance of representing Croatia at the 2022 World Cup later this year.

Sucic adds that Celtic would demand at least £15m for the former Legia Warszawa man, roughly five times the amount the Hoops spent to sign the defender just 12 months ago.

Juranovic is regarded as a first-team regular under Postecoglou and he still has four years remaining on his contract in Glasgow.
