Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Celtic winger Liel Abada is on the verge of signing a new, enhanced four-year deal with the club.
This comes as particularly welcome news for Celtic fans, even though Abada had three years remaining on his existing contract, allowing it to run down and the uncertainty could have distracted from his performances.
Under former manager Ange Postecoglou, it seemed likely that Abada would be departing Celtic Park this summer.
However, the arrival of Brendan Rodgers has breathed new life into the Israeli winger’s career, instilling in him the confidence that he can secure a regular spot in the first team.
Abada has been a solid contributor for Celtic over the past two years, and this new deal signals both the club’s and the player’s intentions for him to play a more significant role in the future. With Rodgers at the helm, Abada aims to elevate his game further and deliver even more memorable moments for the Hoops.
As the clock races towards the midnight deadline, this development adds another layer to what has already been a rollercoaster of a transfer window for Celtic. The bhoys also managed to tie down Kyogo and Maeda to similar deals this summer.
While we await the official announcement from the club, it’s clear that Abada’s impending contract extension is a positive note on a day filled with speculation and last-minute deals.
