Liel Abada 'rejected' new Celtic contract and wants to leave for England claims former club's president

Liel Abada’s former president claims the winger “wants” to leave Celtic this summer and has already rejected a new deal.

Avi Luzon is the head honcho at Abada’s former club Maccabi Petah Tikva, who banked £3.5million when the Israeli was signed by Ange Postecoglou in the summer of 2021. Since then, Abada has impressed with his goals and assists tally for the champions as they regained the Scottish Premiership title, lifted the League Cup twice and took on the European big guns in the group stage of the Champions League.

But Luzon insists Abada will be heading off to the English Premier League at the end of this season, which he has somehow worked out is “90 per cent” probable. He claims that the 21-year-old could have gone in January but didn’t want to, and also knocked back the chance to commit his future to the Parkhead club after being offered a new deal.
