Chelsea are interested in signing Celtic defender Josip Juranovic who is currently flourishing at the World Cup in Qatar with Croatia.
In Croatia’s recent game against Brazil, Juranovic played a pivotal role in helping his country advance into the semi-finals of the World Cup. Vinicius JR was substituted midway through the second half, with Juranovic nullifying his threat throughout the game.
