Chelsea are interested in signing Celtic defender Josip Juranovic, who is currently flourishing at the World Cup in Qatar with Croatia.
In Croatia’s recent match against Brazil, Juranovic played a pivotal role in helping his country advance to the World Cup semifinals. Vinicius JR was substituted midway through the second half, with Juranovic nullifying his threat throughout the game.
The 27-year-old has had an impressive tournament, highlighting Brazil’s play, and there is no doubt that scouts across Europe will have liked what they have seen during the World Cup.
According to journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea had Juranovic on their radar during the summer transfer window and they still have him today, as seen in the tweet below.

It seems like a matter of time before Juranovic makes a big move. With all due respect to Celtic, when a Premier League club comes knocking, they often find it difficult to keep players.
With Reece James struggling with injuries, Juranovic could be brought in to provide much-needed cover and competition for the England defender.
