According to a report in Portugal’s O Jogo, Benfica is prepared to sell Paulo Bernardo to Celtic on permanent terms.
The Almada native spent the 2023/24 season on loan at Celtic Park, where he played 33 games in center midfield, scoring four goals and providing three assists.
O Jogo explains how Benfica left Bernardo out of Saturday’s friendly against Celta de Vigo to avoid jeopardizing the 22-year-old’s deal to Celtic owing to an injury.
According to the Portuguese news site, the Portugal U21 international is definitely leaving Lisbon, and Celtic is currently negotiating a transfer cost with the Primeira Liga club.
