Ange Postecoglou is still expecting a conclusion in the near future over Giorgos Giakoumakis' transfer exit from Celtic.
The striker, 28, is still set to depart the Parkhead club despite the domestic transfer window closing at midnight on February 1.
Giakoumakis is widely thought to be ready to move to the MLS with Atlanta United having previously been close to a J-League switch to Urawa Red Diamonds.
