PUNDIT and former player Kenny Miller believes that Celtic must move Liel Abada on this summer, or risk having a situation like the Ibrox side has with Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos, slapping a laughable price tag on the winger.

Liel Abada
8th October 2022; McDiarmid Park, Perth, Scotland; Scottish premier league football, St Johnstone versus Celtic: Liel Abada of Celtic on the ball

Liel Abada has been great for Celtic, joining as one of Ange Postecoglou’s first signings. Despite mainly featuring from the bench, his numbers are fantastic, and he commonly chips in with a goal or an assist when he’s on the pitch.

Despite all things taken into account, Kenny Miller believes Celtic’s valuation of Liel Abada is no more than £10 million, insisting that the club could just receive a fee of £8 million.

“I’m not sure, but maybe we are talking £10million for him? If you are talking at those types of numbers – £8million or £10million”, Kenny Miller said on the Go RaDIO FOOTBALL SHOW

“He is really unfortunate that he has not had much game time behind Jota and Maeda. I think he has been brilliant when he has come on; he has got something different.

“That is what Ange has got in those wide areas, they all bring something different. Jota brings the flare and technique, you have Maeda who is pure power and pace, and you have Haksabanovic who has that wee dip of the shoulder and we have seen his bend on the shot.”

Celtic will receive more than £10 million for Liel ABada, he’s still a rough diamond for sure, but in a system that suits his style, he’ll excel. He’s been a great player for Celtic, and has scored some crucial goals, but it looks as if his time in Glasgow is coming to an end.

  1. Celtic will get 10-12 million for him if they hold out. But Ange doesn’t seem to favour holding out. A much better player than Kent and younger and also contracted to 25 or 26 I think Kenny Miller cost 3 million at one point. If that is the case Leil is worth 150 million.

    • I’m a Celtic fan but never in a million years is he worth £20,000,000 . Every time he is not in starting 11 his value will diminish. Juranovic was immense at World Cup for Croatia, English pundits raved about him. He starred for Croatia and helped them finish THIRD at World Cup. He was sold for £7.5m so forget the crazy talk £20m LOL. £10m about right for someone not able to get in starting 11 of a Scottish team. There were folk hallucinating saying Edouard was worth £40m at one point. Sold for £12.5m. Abada is still rough. He doesn’t do it in Europe, the place where you perform & get noticed, increasing value. He scores against Alan McGregor & Dundee United but so could Rod Stewart. Fellow Celtic fans get mega carried away valuing players in these articles & on forums.
