Giorgos Giakoumakis could now leave Celtic on LOAN initially before he makes a permanent switch to the MLS.
The Greek striker's transfer saga continues as the 28-year-old edges closer to an exit from Glasgow. Giakoumakis' contract talks stalled with Ange Postecoglou's men this month and since the forward has been closely linked with a move to the MLS through Atlanta United and the J-League with Urawa Red Diamonds.
Celtic have moved to recruit Oh Hyeon-Gyu to bolster their attack with the Korean penning a long-term deal in Glasgow worth around £2.5m. But Giakoumakis could now leave this month on an initial loan deal with Atlanta biding their time of a permanent swoop and a purchase option.
