Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers is reportedly looking to trim the squad in the upcoming transfer window, with players not contributing expected to be moved out. One such player is Alexandro Bernabei, who was signed for £3.75 million from Lanus last summer but has struggled to secure a regular spot, particularly with Greg Taylor holding the left fullback position.
Despite the lack of playing time under Rodgers, Falkirk midfielder and radio pundit Stephen McGinn believes that the coaching team, including John Kennedy and Gavin Strachan, should have advised Rodgers early on that Bernabei wasn’t up to the required standard. McGinn expressed confusion about the team selection and questioned why the coaching staff hadn’t communicated their assessment of Bernabei’s abilities to Rodgers earlier.
Bernabei’s limited appearances for Celtic have been largely from the bench, accumulating only 71 minutes of football this season. Even under current manager Ange Postecoglou, the Argentine defender was sparingly used, primarily in games of little significance or importance. The article suggests that Bernabei’s future at Celtic seems uncertain, and his departure is imminent, with Italy being mentioned as his preferred destination.
The player has faced challenges adjusting to life in Glasgow, and there were early incidents, such as oversleeping for a team meeting when Rodgers first arrived at Celtic. The article concludes with the hope that Bernabei’s situation is resolved soon, emphasizing the likelihood of his departure from Glasgow.
