Union Berlin have completed the signing of right-back Josip Juranovic from Celtic in a deal worth up to £10m.
The initial fee is understood to be £7.5m plus add-ons, with the Croatian completing his move to the Bundesliga side on Sunday.
The 27-year-old has been a target for Chelsea this January, while Spanish sides Barcelona and Atletico Madrid have also been eyeing a move for him.
Juranovic scored six goals in 53 appearances for Celtic
Celtic are keen to keep Juranovic in Glasgow and hold talks over a new, better contract. However, neither side could reach an agreement before they left for the World Cup in Qatar.
The former Legia Warsaw defender is leaving the Scottish Premiership side after joining in August 2021 for £2.5m.
Celtic said in a statement: “The Croatian defender has moved to the German club after winning the league title and the League Cup in his first season with the Hoops and he followed that up by reaching the semi-finals of the Qatar World Cup with the national team, where they lost to eventual winners Argentina.
“Everyone at the club wishes Josip all the best in his future career.”
Celtic have announced the signing of Canadian right-back Alistair Johnston on a five-year contract.
The Hoops paid an initial fee of £3.5m for the CF Montreal defender, who has made three appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side since joining at the start of the month.
