The defender appears to be going from strength to strength in the Brazilian league after a low key loan deal was agreed in March.
Bernabei appeared to be making progress under Ange Postecoglou but that came to a halt under Brendan Rodgers.
After missing a team meeting the Argentinian was left out of the matchday squad for the opening SPFL match at home to Ross County, when he was also omitted from Celtic’s Champions League squad it seemed that the door was closing on his career in Scotland.
A Celtic revival seems unlikely but on a hot run of form the 24-year-old has been making headlines for the right reasons with Internacional sitting in fourth place in the Brazilian Serie A.
INTERNACIONAL chiefs are planning talks with Celtic in a bid to hammer out a deal to buy Alex Bernabei.
The Hoops flop has been a huge hit for the Brazilian side since being loaned there in March and has three goals and four assists in 30 appearances.
That has prompted Inter bosses to make a move to land the Argentine left-back permanently.
It’s thought they are due to fly to Europe for several recruitment meetings and want to discuss Bernabei’s situation with the Parkhead side.
Wing-back Bernabei’s loan is due to expire in December but his Hoops contract runs until May 2027.
Getting a return on the £3.5m paid to Lanus in the summer of 2022 seemed highly ambitious but with no commitment in the loan deal Celtic are now in the driving seat with negotiations
