Celtic set aside ‘huge funds’ as they work on signing ‘A-list’ forward – Sources

According to sources who spoke to Football Insider, Celtic are looking to recruit a top-tier forward this summer to take Liel Abada’s place.

The Israel international has finished a medical exam in preparation for a move to MLS team Charlotte FC, which beat two other teams to a contract, sources told Football Insider on March 7.

After selling Abada for an initial £8 million, the club is projected to make a profit of £6.5 million, with add-ons potentially raising that amount to £10 million.

Football Insider has been informed by reliable sources that the Hoops are looking for a “A-list talent” to take the wide forward’s place.

Celtic is trying to sign a “A-list” player to take Liel Abada’s place.

In order to replace the wide forward, who joined the team from Israeli side Maccabi Petah Tikva in 2021 and quickly became a vital element of it, it was stated that “huge funds” will

be placed aside going into the summer.

As they create a shortlist of possibilities, Celtic are already evaluating potential targets and setting the stage for a deal.

They are looking for a direct, quick player in the style of Aaron Abada, who mostly operated on the right wing for Celtic during his 112 appearances in all competitions, scoring 29 goals and dishing out 22 assists.

Abada, who signed for a record £3.6 million and won PFA Young Player of the Year in his maiden season, is one of the attacking profiles that the Hoops are reportedly targeting.

Following their 2-0 loss to Hearts on Sunday, March 3, Celtic is still in second place in the Scottish Premier League, trailing Rangers by just two points following their Saturday (2 March) loss to Motherwell.

On Sunday, March 10, they will play Livingston in the Scottish Cup quarterfinals.
