With an agreement reportedly reached to sign Paulo Bernardo on a permanent basis, Celtic and Brendan Rodgers have reportedly turned their attention towards sealing a loan deal to welcome a Premier League defender.

Having already welcomed both Kasper Schmeichel and Viljami Sinisalo this summer, Celtic have just nine days to secure further reinforcements before their latest title defence gets underway in the Scottish Premiership, which looks likely to see Bernardo arrive. The Benfica midfielder spent the last campaign on loan from the Portuguese giants, helping Celtic pick up a stunning league and cup double. Now, he looks set to get the chance to make a permanent impact.

The midfielder may not be the only fresh face through the door either, as Celtic look to make a late flurry before the season gets underway. Reports suggest that with a deal on the cards for Bernardo, Scotland’s champions have turned their attention towards the Premier League in a renewed attempt to sign a defensive reinforcement.

According to Sky Sports’ Anthony Joseph, Celtic are making a new attempt to sign Hugo Bueno on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers this summer, with contact already made. The Bhoys reportedly failed in their attempts to sign the left-back in January, but have now made a fresh approach to secure his signature for the forthcoming campaign as the Scottish Premiership closes.
