The 24-year-old Portuguese winger cost Al Ittihad £25 million last month when they completed a shock move for the popular Hoops star.
However, the ruthless Saudis appear to have already decided the former Benfica ace is not up to the standard required by Nuno Espírito Santo's side, who also boast the likes of Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante in their team.
And Al Ittihad legend Mohammed Noor - who won 90 caps and played in two World Cups while with the club - believes it will be the right decision."Acknowledging this and making the change now is much better than continuing with him during the whole season and failing later. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers admitted his Celtic side lacked quality in their shock 1-0 Viaplay Cup defeat to Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.
It was a first defeat for Rodgers in cup competitions in Scotland in 25 games and put the holders out.
