Juninho eyes Celtic move

Juninho‘s agent has assured Celtic money would not be a problem if they wanted to sign the Brazilian midfielder.

He still has two years left of a lucrative deal at Middlesbrough but knows his chances of first-team football will be limited next season.

His new team-mate, former Parkhead star Mark Viduka, has already claimed Celtic tried to lure him back to the east end of Glasgow.

Juninho’s British-based agent Jonathan Hassel told the News of the World: “The player loves Middlesbrough but he wants to be somewhere where he is playing football.

“With all the players Middlesbrough have signed it looks like he will be forced to leave. It would be a wrench to move but he would do it.

“Celtic would be a club he would consider joining. He would not be priced out of their range and his wage demands would not be beyond them.”

Cardiff City striker Robert Earnshaw‘s agent has also invited the Hoops to make a move for his client.
