Liel Abada rejected a contract extension at Celtic and wants to be SOLD in the summer - according to his former president at Maccabi Petah Tikva.
Club chief Avi Luzon made the astonishing claim as part of a wide-ranging interview with One Sport and he also said talks took place in the January window but he didn't want to leave. Ange Postecoglou swooped to land the Israeli in a reported £3.5million deal and he has quickly taken to life in Glasgow's fishbowl.
Since his arrival at Celtic, the 21-year-old has scored 27 goals and provided 18 assists in just 95 appearances in all competitions. He's tasted Champions League football including two outings against powerhouse Real Madrid while he could end the season as a Treble winner after the first of three fronts was bagged with a League Cup Final win over Rangers. Last season he won a Premiership winners' medal and another League Cup success.
