Alexandro Bernabei was born in Correa, Argentina, on 24 September 2000 (age 25). A compact left back at 5ft 7in (1.69m), he came through at Lanus before Celtic paid around £4m to bring him to Glasgow in July 2022.

His Celtic spell was not short of medals, even if he never fully nailed down the position. Bernabei won the Premiership in 2022/2023, two Scottish Cups and a League Cup during his time at the club. There was transfer speculation around him in December 2024, and he left Celtic the following month, joining Internacional for around £4.5m.

At Internacional, Bernabei has settled into a more productive role. In 2026, he has made 14 Série A appearances and scored four league goals, already his best league return. His current market value is around £5m, according to Transfermarkt.

Bernabei’s career has moved from Lanus to Celtic and then back to South America with Internacional. Celtic was his European step, but his strongest attacking numbers so far have come since his move to Brazil.

Alexandro Bernabei has been a regular for Internacional in Série A 2026, making 14 appearances and starting 13 of them. Four goals from left back is a notable return and points to a role with licence to attack rather than simply hold shape. The four yellow cards also suggest a player involved in high-contact defensive actions, but with no reds his discipline has not become a major issue.

Bernabei’s career path has moved from Lanus to Celtic and then to Internacional, with the Brazilian spell now looking like the most productive phase in the supplied record. The career appearance data is limited, but the goals column shows output in Argentina, Scotland and Brazil, with his recent Internacional seasons carrying the strongest attacking return. At 25, this looks less like a late-career reset and more like a player finding a clearer role after leaving Celtic.

The transfer pattern is straightforward: Celtic paid €3.8m to take Bernabei from Lanus in 2022, then sent him to Internacional on loan in March 2024 before making the move permanent for €4.3m in January 2025. Celtic recovered a fee slightly above the original outlay, while Bernabei moved from a difficult European spell into a prominent role in Brazil’s top flight. The sequence reads as a practical exit for Celtic and a career stabiliser for the player.
