The Italian news source have mentioned that Juranovic is ready to snub Italian sides like Monza and Torinio and will wait to sign for Manchester United.
It is reported that the Red Devils are looking to offload English fullback, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, first and have asked the Scottish Premier League star to wait.
The 27-year-old star’s current deal with Celtic will expire in the summer of 2026 and as per reports, he is valued at around £17million (Sportske Novosti).
The former Legia Warszawa defender was a key member of the Scottish side that won the domestic double last season.
This season, so far, Juranovic has featured in 9 league games thus far, scored a goal and provided an assist.
He was brilliant at the back for Croatia, who earned third place at the FIFA World Cup. Thus far, he has made 27 appearances for the senior national side.
At Old Trafford, Wan-Bissaka was lured by former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but the ex Palace man has mainly warmed the bench under Erik ten Hag.
He has only started three games in the PL this term and should depart Old Trafford to play week in and week out.
In your view, should Man Utd offload Wan-Bissaka and spend £17million to sign Josip Juranovic this month?
You need to start your bidding at 22 million. Juranovic was one of the players of the tournament at the WC. You paid 85 million for Harry Maguire. He has CL experience. You paid 50 million for Wan-Bissaka. Rangers got 16 million for a teenager from Everton. Chelsea Newcastle, Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona have all registered an interest. 17 million will not cut it for a player reaching his peak years who will be signing his last 5 year contract. He is also contracted until 2026. The number of absolute garbage that regularly sells for over 20 million is ridiculous. He is a good player. And everybody knows EPL: clubs can be charged millions extra. The Germans call it the English tax. So pay up or shut up! 17 million indeed.
