A story from O Jogo in Portugal now claims that Benfica are preparing to sell Paulo Bernardo to Celtic in a permanent deal.
The man from Almada spent the 2023/24 campaign on loan at Celtic Park, making 33 appearances in central midfield as he scored four goals and also provided three assists.
O Jogo explains why Benfica rested Bernardo from Saturday’s friendly against Celta de Vigo in order to prevent the 22-year-old’s injury from derailing his transfer to Celtic. The Portugal U21 international is undoubtedly leaving Lisbon, according to the Portuguese news source, and Celtic is currently attempting to work out a transfer deal with the Primeira Liga team.Although a permanent sale now appears highly likely, Bernardo, who the Daily Record mentioned has been compared to Portuguese superstar Rui Costa, is under contract with Benfica until July 2027.
