Celtic’s Liel Abada put on an impressive display in the club’s pre-season friendly against Yokohama F. Marinos.
The Israeli winger, who is under contract until 2026, provided two assists in the match, showcasing his creative prowess and underlining his importance to the team.
Abada’s performance comes amid growing speculation about his future at Celtic. Turkish side Fenerbahce is reportedly interested in the player, who would command a fee in excess of £10m due to his contract situation and his impressive performances for Celtic, say MailPlus.
Speculation picked up last season about Abada’s desire for a move. However, the winger did seem to rubbish these rumours, stating he was firmly focused on Celtic.
Celtic have recently bolstered their attacking options, bringing in right-wingers Marco Tilio and Yang Hyun-jun. While this adds depth to the squad, it also increases competition for places in the starting lineup.
The speculation surrounding Abada’s future is likely to continue, especially if he maintains his current form. However, Celtic fans will be hoping that the club can fend off interest from other clubs and keep the talented winger at Celtic Park. With his contract running until 2026, Celtic are in a strong position to do so.
