Celtic near completion of Egyptian winger Haissem Hassan deal

Celtic Haissem Hassan Real Oviedo transfer Egypt

Celtic have reached an agreement to sign Egyptian World Cup winger Haissem (Haitham) Hassan from Spanish side Real Oviedo on a four‑year contract running to 2030. The clubs have settled on a transfer fee in the €6‑7 million range and Celtic have submitted an €11 million offer, with performance‑related bonuses tied to Champions League qualification. Final contractual details, including performance bonuses, are still being finalised.

The club is also navigating other transfer matters. Former Celtic midfielder Arne Engels is reported to be on the brink of leaving, with Celtic holding out for a valuation of around £25 million. Meanwhile, Everton continue to press for Celtic right‑back Alistair Johnston, but Celtic have indicated they will not drop below their £15 million asking price. Celtic manager Martin O’Neill has stressed the importance of retaining key players while adding new talent ahead of the new season.
