Celtic winger Liel Abada has reportedly agreed to a permanent move away from the Hoops.

The Israeli winger has not played since February 7th in the Scottish Premiership for Celtic against Hibernian, in a 2-1 win at Easter Road where he came on as a substitute for the last 25 minutes of the game.

Abada suffered a torn thigh muscle while on international duty with Israel in September.

He returned from the injury against Rangers on December 30th at Celtic Park, coming off the bench for the final seven minutes to rapturous applause from the Celtic support.

Since his return from injury, Abada was said to ‘not be in the right frame of mind to play’ by Brendan Rodgers, with a move away from Celtic appearing likely.

Football Insider reports that Abada has reportedly agreed to join MLS side Charlotte FC for a fee reportedly in excess of £3 million.

The Hoops, who signed Abada for £3.5 million from Maccabi Perth Tikva back in July 2021, were said to be looking to recoup what they paid for him.

Charlotte will look to sign the Israeli before the MLS league season begins next Saturday, with the North Carolina side in action away to Toronto.
