Italian club Lazio is reportedly exploring the possibility of signing Israeli winger Liel Abada, according to Italian media reports. Abada, 24, is listed as one of two players the club is considering to strengthen its wings, alongside American player Diego Luna.
Currently playing for Charlotte FC in Major League Soccer (MLS), Abada joined the American club in March 2024 from Celtic. His contract with Charlotte runs until the end of 2026, making him a potential target for Lazio as his contract approaches its end. Luna, who plays for Real Salt Lake, is in a similar contract situation.
However, reports suggest that the salaries Abada and Luna currently earn in the U.S. might be a financial obstacle for Lazio, potentially complicating a transfer. The Italian club is currently in an evaluation and monitoring phase, with no official negotiations or offers reported at this stage.
Abada had a successful tenure at Celtic, contributing to 51 goals in 112 appearances and winning six titles. In his first season with Charlotte, he became a key offensive player, scoring seven goals and providing two assists in 24 regular-season matches.
