£8.3k-p/w Celtic player is now considering a transfer after Liel Abada’s departure.

£8.3k-p/w Celtic man is now considering a transfer after Liel Abada’s departure.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has no intention of adding another Hoops outcast to his roster this year.

Liel Abada is the next member of Brendan Rodgers’ team to leave Parkhead,

even though Celtic’s transfer window closed at the beginning of last month.

Not every league closes its doors, and according to reports,

Hoops attacker Abada is getting closer to leaving Glasgow permanently.

The Israel international is reportedly close to joining Charlotte FC of Major League Soccer (MLS),

after the Scottish powerhouses accepted a bid beyond £8 million, according to a recent report from Football Insider.

According to the site, the player’s unhappiness in Scotland stems from “major personal” concerns related to the violence in his native country,

which have now resulted in an imminent relocation to the United States.

Compared to the £3 million they spent to sign him under Ange Postecoglou in the summer of 2021,

it represents a significant profit.

Thus, even though this is not how the club had envisioned his tenure at Parkhead to finish,

they could still view the agreement as a success.

With 31 direct goal contributions in 37 starts overall, as the above data shows,

the 22-year-old dynamo was a reliable threat at the top of the pitch throughout his first two seasons with the team under the Australian head coach.

Abada is not the only Celtics player who may leave the team before the end of the campaign;

according to Football Insider, Yuki Kobayashi is ‘exploring’ a way out of the organization.

According to the outlet, the central defender was informed that he is free to look for a new team after last month’s scheduled transfer to Helsinki, Finland, fell through.

It claims that Rodgers has told the Japanese defender that he may complete a move out of Glasgow because the head coach of the Northern Ireland has determined that the January 2023 signing is not going to be a part of his future plans.

Although Kobayashi signed a five-and-a-half-year contract at the beginning of the previous year, Football Insider claims that he hasn’t left enough of an impact for the manager to consider him a first-team option.

The news of his possible departure from Celtic should not come as a surprise given his lackluster performances in the Scottish Premiership during the second half of last season.

Postecoglou gave the £8.3k-per-week defender six appearances in the top flight last season, including five starts, but he failed to demonstrate the necessary strength or quality to be a vital member of the Hoops’ starting lineup.

The defender lost an astounding 62% of his ground duels and 64% of his aerial contests during those six games, indicating that opposition forwards found it far too easy to outmuscle him in physical conflicts.
