Football Insider has received information from sources that Celtic is now open to considering bids for Liel Abada, a winger, during the summer transfer window.
The 22-year-old is reportedly uneasy in Parkhead because of significant personal problems relating to the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.
Football Insider has been informed by a reliable source that there is a sense among the team that Abada wishes to leave.
When the window opens this summer, it’s unlikely that the Hoops will get in his way, according to sources.
But Celtic is eager to get back the £3.5 million they had to pay to sign the 2021 Scottish Premiership winner who had won two times.
Celtic wants a sum of at least £3.5 million before letting Abada depart.
With the conflict breaking out in his native Israel barely a month after Abada’s September signing of a new four-year contract, the Hoops are reportedly in a strong position to get that valuation.
The main fan group at Parkhead, the Green Brigade, have frequently held aloft Palestinian flags at games despite Celtic warning against such actions.
Abada has made 11 appearances across all competitions so far in the 2023-24 campaign, notching one goal and one assist, but has been left out of the last three Scottish Premiership games.
Hoops boss Brendan Rodgers has recently confirmed the winger is “not in the right frame of mind to play”.
He has hit 29 goals and contributed 22 assists in 112 games for Celtic since joining three years ago.
