A departure that left everyone in shock

Alexandro Bernabei, a surprse no one saw coming

Alexandro Bernabei's Surprise Departure: An Unforeseen Move

Alexandro Bernabei, the young left-back who arrived at Celtic with great expectations, has surprisingly left the club after just one season. The Argentine defender joined the Scottish giants from Club Atlético Lanús in the summer of 2022, but has failed to establish himself as a regular starter under manager Ange Postecoglou.

A Promising Arrival

When Bernabei arrived at Celtic, he was hailed as one of the most promising young left-backs in South America. He had earned rave reviews for his performances with Lanús and had also represented Argentina at the youth level. Bernabei's arrival was seen as a major coup for Celtic, who had been in need of a new left-back for some time.

Struggles for Playing Time

However, things did not go according to plan for Bernabei at Celtic. He found it difficult to break into the first team, with Greg Taylor firmly established as the first-choice left-back. Bernabei made just 17 appearances for Celtic in all competitions last season, and most of those came as a substitute.

Speculation Surrounding His Future

Bernabei's lack of playing time led to speculation surrounding his future at Celtic. There were rumors that he could be loaned out or even sold in the summer. However, Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou insisted that Bernabei was still part of his plans.

Defender Departs

Despite Postecoglou's assurances, Bernabei has now left Celtic. The Scottish club have confirmed that Bernabei has joined Championship side Watford on a season-long loan. The move will give Bernabei the opportunity to play regular first-team football and prove his worth.

A Disappointing End

Bernabei's departure from Celtic is a disappointing end to what was once a promising move. However, the young defender still has plenty of time to fulfill his potential. A successful loan spell at Watford could revitalize his career and prove that he can still become a top-class left-back.
