In an exciting development for the Celtic faithful, the club is on the brink of locking down winger Liel Abada to a new lucrative, extended deal. Initially inked until 2026, the Israeli sensation is expected to put pen to paper by week’s end, solidifying his future at Parkhead.

First brought to light by Record Sport, negotiations between the Bhoys and Abada have been buzzing in the background. With talks also underway for Reo Hatate, it appears Abada will be the first to make his commitment official.

Since his arrival from Maccabi Petah Tikva in 2019, the 21-year-old has set the pitch alight, contributing vital goals and assists. His extended stay serves as a massive coup for Brendan Rodgers, who is keen to make Abada an integral part of the squad—a privilege not entirely afforded under Ange Postecoglou’s tenure.

The move to secure Abada follows a series of key retentions for the Hoops. Kyogo Furuhashi, Daizen Maeda, and our indomitable captain, Callum McGregor, all pledged their futures to the club earlier this summer.

As for Hatate, discussions are still in progress. The Japanese talent initially rejected Celtic’s first proposal, but the word is that an agreement extending his contract beyond 2026 is likely just a matter of time.

So, it seems the future is looking increasingly green and white, as Celtic continues to lock down its stars. Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
