Celtic's move for Ismaila Soro has reportedly hit a snag due to a dispute between his club and his representatives.
The Ivory Coast midfielder played his final game for Bnei Yehuda in the Israeli Cup win over Hapoel Afula on Wednesday.
Celtic have already agreed terms with the player and his club but they are stalling because of a dispute between Bnei Yehuda and Soro's agents.
His representatives are believed to own a percentage of the player and are negotiating the amount they will get from the transfer fee.
A statement from Bnei Yehuda said: "It's impossible to know at the moment whether Ismaila Soro will be in the squad for our next game against Hapoel Kfar Saba on Monday or not."
Celtic were expecting to announce Soro as Neil Lennon's next signing this week after their £3.5 million capture of Polish striker Patryk Klimala .
And Bnei Yehuda boss Elisha Levy revealed he believed the deal was done at the start of the week. But the hold-up behind the scenes has dragged the deal out.
