Josip Brekalo

With merely days left in the summer transfer window, Celtic still have a lot of work to do. Fans are hoping for the club to significantly strengthen their ranks before the close of deadline day. There are a number of areas where they could do with reinforcements. And it looks like a Croatian international winger is on their radar.

Celtic have some decent depth on the wings right now. Daizen Maeda, James Forrest, Nicolas Kuhn, Yang Hyun-jun and Luis Palma, that is a solid list of options on the flanks


Yet, we have seen Celtic being linked with wingers all summer. And now, it is time to add another name to that list. One with the most pedigree out of all the options the Hoops are believed to have their eye on.

As reported by Corriere Fiorentino (via GIVEMESPORT), Celtic 'like' Josip Brekalo and carry an interest in the winger as they look for more recruitments to arrive before Friday's deadline. Other Serie A clubs are also keen on his signature


Celtic had a Croatian international named Josip in their ranks not long ago. It would be safe to say that he was quite the player and had a short yet successful stint at the club


Brekalo's time at Fiorentina has not been the most successful. But there is no question about his talent. The 26-year-old spent several years playing for Wolfsburg. He has more than 100 appearances and 30 goal contributions at the Bundesliga level. He has spent time at Torino and VfB Stuttgart. Even last season, he was solid on loan at Hajduk Split.

All things considered, someone like Brekalo has the potential to be an excellent signing. At 26 years of age, he is only entering his prime and is someone who could be one of the best players in all of Scotland

 

Is this not the * that wouldn't wear the rainbow armband. Probably another tonev . Would be better off without the bad publicity

 

* blast from the past.
This guy's a decent player.

 

Is that right? That's a shame, was just about to say he looks the business.

Steer clear , not worth the animosity

 

Was linked with the huns. Sounds like his agent his whoring him about

 

Aye. * him.

 

Sounds like a right * and doubt he'd be as welcoming to in a club like ours.

 

Agent doing * stiring 100%

 

Agreed, he’s a pure hun, clearly.

 

A man who stands up for his convictions.

Sign him up.

 

Hitler had his convictions too.

 

So did Ghandi.

 

There's "standing up for your convictions" and there's blatant homophobia, and he's definitely leaning towards the latter.

No room for that in this day and age. I don't want him anywhere near us.

 

Just because you don't support Homosexuality and refuse to be forced to wear a political symbol promoting it means you are homophobic.

 

Homophobia for not wearing rainbow?

Or has he done something actual homophobic? Never heard about the * and rangers dont scout any good players

'Liking' homophobic material online would probably suggest you are.

Anyway, the ones that protest the most are usually trying to overcompensate for their own repressed feelings.

 

Linked with huns few weeks back. Either agent touting him around everyone or media reporting it so they can claim to have got one up on us.

Given his views he'd be better suited to them

 

Aye, we know you agree with him. You've made that clear many times.

Liking homophobic material posted in response to him refusing to wear the armband, as marti points out above, is a pretty cut and dry indication of it.
