Celtic set to land £10m as Abada completes MLS medical

After completing his medical with MLS team Charlotte FC, the Israel international Liel Abada, who was signed for an alleged £3.5 million in July 2021, is expected to cost Celtic £10 million.

After passing his physical, Liel Abada is expected to finalize his transfer from Celtic to MLS team Charlotte FC in less than 48 hours.

The Israel international was due to play for Charlotte FC, where he will be coached by former Aston Villa and Leicester manager Dean Smith, after an agreement to pay £10 million was reached.

The 22-year-old, who Celtic signed for an estimated £3.5 million from Israeli team Maccabi Petah Tikva in July 2021, is expected to fetch a healthy profit.

After receiving serious interest from other teams, Abada signed a new four-year contract with Celtic in the summer.

Abada’s role has been restricted this season, though, because to an injury and personal problems.

Last month, Brendan Rodgers acknowledged that Abada might have to leave Celtic because of worries over his family during the current Middle East war.

Since the 2-1 victory at Hibernian on February 7, Abada has not been on the Celtic field. Rodgers has stated that Abada “wasn’t in the right frame of mind” for the match.

In 112 games, he has accrued 22 goals and 29 assists for Celtic. He was a key member of Ange Postecoglou’s treble-winning team the previous season.
