Liel Abada is edging closer to leaving Celtic, according to a report.
Football Scotland reports the Hoops winger is finalising his departure from the club.
They state that the player, 22, is in talks with FC Charlotte over a switch to the MLS.
Should a move go through, the winger will team up with ex-Rangers ace Scott Arfield in the United States.
It's said the attacker has been in discussions with the MLS side since the end of last week, with a fee of around £10m floated.
It was recently revealed by Brendan Rodgers that the Israeli could well have played his last game for Celtic. That certainly seems to be the case now.
The boss explained that the wide man was 'not in the right frame of mind' to play for the club following the ongoing conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine. It comes amid a section of the Celtic support's backing of Palestine.
This report suggests a deal between Celtic and Charlotte could go through this week, with a medical set to be done soon.
Abada extended his contract at Celtic Park last September. He agreed to sign on until the summer of 2027.
But that looks to be significantly cut short after his 112 appearances for the club, having scored 29 goals in that period.

Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers took aim at Don Robertson and John Beaton after Celtic's loss at Hearts today.
The Irishman felt aggrieved over his side being reduced to 10 men early in the game at Tynecastle, as well as a penalty being awarded against his team.
The game, which ended 2-0 to the hosts, was action-packed from start to finish, with penalties, a red card, and other controversial moments dominating the proceedings.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
