Breaking News: Rangers play a smart move on Celtic as they move ahead to agree transfer for fee for Benfica star currently on loan at Celtic

The midfielder has spent the season on loan with Celtic from his home club, Benfica.

The agreement between the sides does include a clause indicating that a £6 million bid will be adequate to secure the permanent transfer of the Portuguese Under-21 international.

While Celtic have the option to purchase the dynamic midfielder,

one of his former coaches has stated that he wants to attract Bernardo to Mexico.

Renato Paiva, the former Benfica youth coach and B team manager,

has spoken to A Bola about reconciling with any of his former players.

Bernardo is one of the prospects that the Toluca manager is evaluating.

He said, “I had my sights set on Paulo Bernardo. However, at the time, this was not feasible.

He didn’t want to leave for South America. I kept an eye on him and whether Benfica intended to release him.

“I sit on the sofa and watch him play at the top level;

Knowing that I helped in some tiny manner makes me very happy.”If the occasion arises, I would like to reconnect.”

Meanwhile, Chris Sutton believes Brendan Rodgers’ handling of Daizen Maeda’s injury comeback may be a double deception.

The Celtic hero has expressed questions about the 26-year-old Japanese forward’s readiness to return to first-team play.

Only weeks after being expected to be out for the rest of the season.

The analyst underlined the necessity of winning both the physiological struggle and the fight on the pitch during the title match against the Rangers.

And, Maeda’s presence has the potential to cause James Tavernier some sleepless nights.

Sutton feels that may simply be hearsay from the Hoops coach.
