“Very Much On His Trail…” Journalist Confirms United Are Actively Pursuing 10M Rated Celtic Defender
Manchester United are targeting Celtic right-back Josip Juranovic ahead of the January transfer window, according to 90min.com reporter Graeme Bailey.
The Croatian international has been praised for his performances at the World Cup and Bailey claims that United are weighing up a move for the defender, along with Chelsea and West Ham:
Croatia right-back Josip Juranovic has enjoyed an excellent World Cup finals – would not be a shock to see him move in January.
Man Utd looked in the summer at the Celtic man and are still very much on his trail. Chelsea and West Ham have also looked.https://t.co/3tFw2cvJq6

Last week, it was suggested that the Hoops may sell Juranovic for around £10m after it emerged that the Scottish champions have failed to find an agreement over a contract extension.
The 27-year-old only moved to Scotland from Legia Warsaw last year, and his current deal expires in 2026, but there is a feeling that the club will cash in so they can capitalise on his increased profile following his displays out in Qatar.
Juranovic has already effectively been replaced, with the impending arrival of Alistair Johnston from FC Montreal, so it looks as if the fullback’s days at Paradise are numbered.
