Liel Abada appears to be on the verge of a big move across the pond, with MailSport hinting that the talented Israeli winger is just days away from jetting off to the States for a medical with Charlotte FC.
It’s been a minute since we’ve seen Abada grace the pitch for the Hoops, his last appearance dating back to the clash against Hibs in February. Brendan Rodgers has openly mentioned that Abada’s head just isn’t in the game right now, a situation that’s understandable given the heat he’s been facing back home.
The noise is largely because of his association with a team cherished by many who stand in solidarity with Palestine, a stance that hasn’t sat well back in Isreal.
This move, if it pans out, might just be the fresh start Abada needs. Away from the tumult and the tension, a new league could offer him the peace of mind to get back to doing what he does best.
For Celtic, if the rumored £8 million, plus a few extras on the side, turns out to be the final figure, it’s nothing short of savvy business. It’s a win-win; Abada gets a move and the team secures a tidy sum that could be reinvested to bring in fresh talent. Here’s to hoping this move is the right next step for everyone involved
