Alexandro Bernabei, an Argentine football player, was born on 24 September 2000. Primarily a stalwart defender in the left back position, Bernabei currently plays for Internacional. Standing at 5ft 6in (1.69m) and weighing 10st 3lb (65kg), he is nimble and quick on the pitch.
In July 2018, Bernabei joined Lanus, a Primera División club in Argentina. His debut season in 2019 - 2020 saw him making 13 first team appearances and netting one goal in league matches. The following 2021 season proved even more fruitful, with Bernabéi making an impressive 24 first team appearances, though sadly he only made a single appearance in 2022.
In July 2022, Bernabéi transferred from Lanus to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership for a fee of £3.8m. His inaugural 2022 - 2023 season in Scottish football saw him making 15 appearances and scoring 1 goal in the league matches. The following 2023 - 2024 season, however, Bernabéi made only 8 appearances.
Bernabéi's stay in Scotland, albeit brief, was impactful. He made his presence known on the pitch with a dogged defending style and an ability to burst forward, thus endearing himself to the Celtic faithful. The defender's attacking prowess was highlighted in his first season, when he managed to find the net in one of his appearances for the club. His second season, despite falling short in terms of appearances, gifted glimpses of him as a reliable presence in the backline.
In an unexpected turn of events, in March 2024, Bernabéi was transferred on loan from Celtic to Internacional in Brazil's Série A. In his first season there, Bernabéi strengthened the defence, boasting 23 first team appearances and scoring three goals. He looks set to continue playing for Internacional in 2025, having transferred permanently from Celtic in January of that year for a fee of £4.3m.
Alexandro Bernabéi remains a player to watch. His career path has taken him from Argentina to Scotland, and then Brazil. Whether he stays in Brazil or embarks on another football journey elsewhere, his journey remains an intriguing one to follow.
