The deal is now entering its final stages after the Scottish giants reached an agreement on the terms of a £3.5million deal with Benfica.
Bernardo, 22, has agreed to personal terms ahead of a move back to Glasgow and a full agreement is expected to be reached between all parties this week.
The winger spent last season on loan at Parkhead playing under Brendan Rodgers and the club made his return a priority in the transfer window.
Bernardo came through the academy system at Benfica and signed his first professional deal with the club in 2018, going on to make 26 appearances for the first team.
A loan move to Parkhead was his first experience of football outside of Portugal, but he enjoyed a successful spell under Rodgers’ management.
After scoring four goals and providing three assists in 33 games, the winger helped inspire Celtic to victories in the league and the Scottish Cup.
