Alexandro Bernabei (born 24 September 2000) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a left-back for Scottish Premiership club Celtic. He previously played for Lanús.
Bernabei came through the youth ranks of Lanús, with manager Luis Zubeldía promoting the defender into his first-team squad during the 2019–20 campaign.[3] Bernabei's senior bow arrived on 19 October 2019, as he was selected to start a Primera División fixture with Talleres.[3][5] He scored six minutes into his debut, prior to being substituted in the second half for Nicolás Orsini in an eventual 4–2 win at the Estadio Mario Alberto Kempes.[3][6] In his thirtieth career appearance on 13 January 2021, Bernabei scored in a Copa Sudamericana semi-final second leg victory at home to Vélez Sarsfield.[3]
Scottish Premiership club Celtic signed Bernabei in June 2022 for a fee of around £3.75 million.[7][8] He made his competitive debut for the club on 28 August 2022 as a late substitute in a 9-0 win against Dundee United at Tannadice Park in the Scottish Premiership.[9]
On 11 October 2022, Bernabei came on as an 80th minute substitute to make his UEFA Champions League debut in a 0-2 loss against RB Leipzig at Celtic Park.[10]
On 2 April 2023, Bernabei scored his first Celtic goal against Ross County in the Scottish premiership.
Bernabei represented Argentina's U19s at the 2018 South American Games in Bolivia.[1][11][12]
