Alexandro Bernabei, born on 24 September 2000 (age 25), is a compact Argentinian left-back from Correa. He came through at Lanús before Celtic brought him to Glasgow in July 2022 for around £4m, a notable fee for a young full-back still adapting to senior football.

His Celtic spell was not especially settled, but it was not empty either. Bernabei was part of a squad that won the 2022/23 Premiership, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup. He had flashes of aggression and running power on the left, though consistency was harder to pin down.

There was transfer speculation around his Celtic future in December 2024, and the move followed soon enough. In January 2025 he left Celtic for Internacional in a deal worth around £4.5m.

At Internacional, where he wears number 25, Bernabei has had his most productive league season in 2026, with four goals in 15 Série A appearances. His market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.

His career so far has moved from Lanús to Celtic and then on to Brazil, with his early European spell bringing domestic honours but not a long-term place in Glasgow.

Alexandro Bernabei made 15 Série A appearances for Internacional in 2026, starting 14, and scored four goals. For a left back, that was notable attacking output and suggested a regular, front-foot role, although six yellows and one red showed a clear disciplinary cost.

Bernabei's career has followed a three-club path: Lanus, Celtic and Internacional. The move to Scotland in 2022 did not develop into a lasting first-team role, but his loan to Brazil in 2024 revived his profile, with three league goals that year and four more in 2026.

The transfer history shows Celtic taking a significant punt from Lanus for a listed 3.8m fee, then moving him to Internacional after an initial loan. The permanent 2025 sale was listed at 4.3m, meaning Celtic recovered value after a spell that never fully settled in Glasgow.
