Celtic are working on several deals at the moment as Brendan Rodgers is looking to add more quality to his side.
According to a report from Sky Sports, the Hoops are close to completing the signing of Portuguese midfielder Paulo Bernardo.
Celtic have agreed an initial fee of £3.5 million with Benfica for the signing of Bernando.
The midfielder, who joined on loan last season at Celtic Park, is keen to join Celtic, but add-ons to the deal and personal terms with the 22-year-old are still to be agreed.
Last season, he made 33 appearances in all competitions, scoring four goals for the Bhoys. It was a successful loan spell for Bernardo who returned to Lisbon with the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup winners medal.
While he was not a regular starter at the club last season, clearly he did enough to impress Celtic to sign him permanently. He performed extremely well for the Bhoys when Reo Hatate and Callum McGregor were out injured.
There was an option to convert the loan deal into a permanent one by paying £6 million, and Benfica were initially sticking to that figure. However, it appears they have decided to let him go for almost half the fee.
According to a report from the Daily Record, Bernando is now expected to negotiate personal terms and sign a long-term contract at Parkhead, which will last until 2028.
Bernando will jet out with the rest of the Celtic squad for the pre-season tour of the USA, where they will face teams such as Manchester City, DC United and Chelsea.
While Celtic are close to landing one midfielder, doubts remain over the long-term future of Matt O’Riley, who is being chased by Atalanta and Juventus.
It has been reported that Atalanta are preparing a third bid to sign the Dane midfielder, who has given the green light for transfer.
