Even though the transfer market is closed, Celtic is still making attempts to get rid of the unwanted players who won’t contribute to the team this year.
Brendan Rodgers has already successfully gotten Albain Ajeti off the books. TBR Celtic attentively watched the development as the Swiss attacker finalized his transfer to Turkish club Gaziantep FC.
And after spending three years in Glasgow, a second player has finally finalized his departure from the team. Ismaila Soro has joined Beitar Jerusalem of the Israeli Premier League.
Last night, the ‘explosive’ midfielder’s’ new team made the announcement of his transfer, as Soro attempts to restart his career after falling short at Celtic. Jerusalem ‘expect’ the midfielder to be a ‘vital element’ of the team’s future plans after he signed a two-year contract with an additional year’s option When Neil Lennon spent over £2 million to sign the Ivorian international, Soro joined Celtic in January 2020. Soro played 23 times for the Hoops that season and initially made an impression, but that was likely more because Celtic were so
When Ange Postecoglou took over in 2021, he employed Soro 19 times, but when the Australian coach recruited in his own players, Soro swiftly dropped down the pecking order.
This summer, Soro was not a part of any Celtic preseason practices. The 25-year-old was left behind as Brendan Rodgers led the club on a tour of Japan and to Portugal for their preseason training camp.
The £11k a week former Hoops midfielder has moved on in the hopes of reviving his career in the league that gave him his big break after an impressive loan move to FC Arouca last season failed to convince the Portuguese club to make his stay permanent.
