Overview
- Celtic are preparing a January approach to borrow the Bournemouth right-back, according to multiple reports, with no bid or agreement announced.
- Julian Araujo has featured just once this season for the Cherries and is expected to be available for a loan move.
- Wilfried Nancy’s shift to a back three has heightened the need on the right, with Alistair Johnston injured and defensive reinforcements prioritized.
- Nancy knows the Mexico international from MLS, and Araujo’s path runs from LA Galaxy to Barcelona, a loan at Las Palmas, and a £9m transfer to Bournemouth in 2024.
- Record reporting says Celtic intend to add at least four signings in January—right-back, right-sided centre-back, winger and striker—with Araujo among the early targets.
