Celtic are looking to strengthen the squad as Brendan Rodgers looks to get busy in the transfer window.
The Celtic manager has already admitted he wants to add new faces to his Hoops first team as Rodgers chases another treble and has Champions League qualification in his sights.
With Celtic linked to a move for Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney, it’s not what the Parkhead club are doing in terms of incomings that has former Rangers captain, Barry Ferguson, worried.
Celtic have shipped out four players so far as Stephen Welsh and Odin Thiago Holm go out on loan to search for first-team football.
Young Celtic B talent Aiden Haddow has departed for Hearts and the Hoops also sold Alexandro Bernabei for a very good profit after the Argentinian’s impressive loan spell at Internacional.
Barry Ferguson gobsmacked at Celtic’s Alexandro Bernabei sale
Ferguson told The Go Radio Football Show [49m], “Well, he struggled. They paid three, three and a half million pounds for him and earned a profit.
“Which is scary if you think about it because he did really struggle. He couldn’t settle in.
“But he’s been away and obviously done well in the Brazilian league and I think he got named in the team of the season. So, again, it’s the best thing for both parties.
Celtic have got their money back and a bit more. And I’m sure they’ll go and try and reinvest that into the squad.”
Where Celtic could invest Alexandro Bernabie’s fee
The £5m fee Celtic will get for Bernabei could be invested in a number of areas of the first team.
It could be used to facilitate the January move of Kieran Tierney to pay a loan fee to Arsenal. Celtic could also use the cash to part-fund any potential move for Mathias Kvistgaarden.
Brendan Rodgers may well look at adding a ball-winning central midfielder which is a player this team have been crying out for for a number of seasons now.
Whatever the Celtic manager decides to do, £5m could go a long way in helping to strengthen a team that is fighting on four fronts this season.
