Celtic are set to bank £800,000 for Hatem Elhamed when the homesick star returns to Israel with Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
The defender has made it clear he wants to return home after failing to settle in Scotland.
He's played just 17 minutes of football since a Europa League defeat to AC Milan in December.
Elhamed is poised to sign for Be'er Sheva - the club Celtic paid £1.6m to take him to Glasgow back in July 2019.
Three more Israeli sides - Maccabi Haifa, Beitar Jerusalem and Maccabi Tel Aviv - all expressed interest in the 29-year-old.
But Be'er Sheva boss Yossi Abukasis was delighted to have won the race for their former player.
He said: "We are very happy that Hatem has chosen to return here.
"For me, he is a great guy and we think we have signed the best defender in Israel, so we are looking forward to him playing for us again."
Hoops boss Neil Lennon revealed this weekend Elhamed had failed to settle in Glasgow.
He said: "He was going through a really difficult time, his wife and son were back in Israel and he was here on his own. He was really struggling with life away from the training ground and stadium.
"We have to take into consideration the human factor on that. I wouldn't say he was suffering with depression, but he was very low, so we have made the right decision for him and the club.
"I think their transfer window is open, so there are no issues with that."
