Josip Juranovic impressed at the World Cup and is attracting plenty of suitors ahead of a possible move in the January transfer window.

Juranovic was part of the Croatia squad that finished third in the World Cup, beating Brazil along the way, and he performed well in Qatar.

As a result of his performances in Qatar, his stock has risen amongst Europe top clubs and a move for him in 2023 is a real possibility.

The Celtic star is of interest to clubs like Manchester United, Barcelona and Chelsea and they have now found out how much they will have to pay if they want to sign him next year.

This season, he has improved drastically for Celtic, chipping in with one goal and one assist in 15 appearances from right-back and that has only raised the interest in him.

It’s been reported by Croatian media that Juranovic will cost around €19.3 million and that Celtic would want to make the most money of him after his improvements in recent times.

Barcelona need a new right-back as their current options aren’t adequate enough, having used Sergi Roberto, Hector Bellerin, Jules Kounde and Ronald Araujo in that position.

Manchester United, meanwhile, are looking for a back-up to Diogo Dalot having not been impressed by Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Juranovic could well be that choice.

Chelsea, meanwhile, will be hoping to sign a right-back due to Reece James’ injury and Juranovic could be the player they bring in to deputize in that time.

The fee isn’t too high and manageable for the two English sides, but matters may be different for Barcelona, who are still facing a few financial complications.
