Undergoing a medical- McGowan reveals Celtic transfer breakthrough
Celtic seem on the brink of completing the signing of their first outfield player with Paulo Bernardo reported to be undergoing a medical last night.
That deal has been in various stages over the past couple of weeks, with Stephen McGowan of the Daily Mail providing the detail it now appears closer than ever to completion.
It would take both clubs to be in agreement plus personal terms to be agreed before a medical is undertaken as Brendan Rodgers gets this season’s squad close to the one that finished the 23/24 season by lifting the Scottish Cup at Hampden.

Paulo Bernardo was undergoing a medical examination on Tuesday night before completing his £3.4million move to Celtic.
The Portuguese midfielder is set to join Brendan Rodgers’ squad before Sunday’s Premiership flag day against Kilmarnock, and Adam Idah’s on-off move to Parkhead has taken a fresh twist after the striker was disciplined by Norwich and left out of their friendly with Hoffenheim after missing the team flight to Austria at the weekend.
While Celtic edge closer to a breakthrough on Bernardo and Idah, they face frustration in their quest to snap up Wolves left back Hugo Bueno.

While Celtic edge closer to a breakthrough on Bernardo and Idah, they face frustration in their quest to snap up Wolves left back Hugo Bueno.
The Premier League side have told Mail Sport they have no current plans to send the Spaniard out on loan.
Celtic’s protracted pursuit of Bernardo will finally come to an end when the 22-year-old becomes the club’s first outfield signing of the summer after two weeks of haggling over cash.
He arrived in Glasgow on a one-year loan last summer, with a £6m option to buy.
Reluctant to pay the full amount to complete a permanent deal from Benfica, Celtic renegotiated a fee of £3.4m with a 30 per cent sell-on clause. After renegotiating the personal terms, the midfielder has now agreed terms on a five-year deal.
As the tweet above demonstrates Celtic transfer activity isn’t the most smooth running which will concern supporters about further additions in the remaining month of business.
Bringing back last season’s fourth choice midfielder, possibly covering for the transfer of Matt O’Riley is a sensible move but wouldn’t have been the priority deal for many fans.
Signing a striker to compete with and provide cover to Kyogo Furuhashi would be top of many lists with the Idah option apparently still on going.
