Celtic had their best Champions League run in over a decade this season. During the campaign, they came up against teams like Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and more. As a result, the players got the opportunity to prove their mettle in front of a global audience, a chance that sadly does not come in Scottish domestic competitions.
A lot of Celtic players rose to the occasion and put in terrific performances. One player who has to fall under that category is Alistair Johnston.
Johnston has been a steady performer for Celtic since his arrival in the winter transfer window of 2023. But the Canadian international has taken his game to the next level this season. That seems to have caught the eye of European giants.
As reported by Interlive.it, Denzel Dumfries is decisive for Inter Milan's season, but the club is working on a possible replacement. Johnston could be very useful to the Italian side behind the Durchman and the operation would not be very expensive. His salary is not high and the transfer fee would be just under €10 million.
Inter Milan linked with move for Celtic defender
Celtic fans would be hoping that Johnston remains at the club. He is a brilliant player and someone who has the potential to be a future captain, considering his leadership abilities.
Of course, the fans are also used to seeing Celtic's best performers leaving. So, if Johnston did the same, it would not come as a major surprise. And if a club like Inter Milan do come calling, any player would give it a consideration.
It remains to be seen what the future holds. For now, the focus has to be on ending the season strong and, hopefully, with a treble. Then, we shall see what the summer transfer window brings.
