Celtic remain engaged in talks with Real Oviedo over 24‑year‑old Egyptian winger Haissem Hassan. A previous £10 million bid was followed by a larger offer, but the club has confirmed that no agreement has been reached and negotiations are still ongoing as the transfer window closes. Real Oviedo recently rejected a €7.5 million proposal from a French club, insisting on a minimum fee of €12 million and retaining a 40 % sell‑on clause. Hassan, who is in the final 12 months of his contract, attracted attention after helping Egypt reach the round of 16 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Celtic’s transfer strategy this window has broadened, with reports that the club is also close to signing Norwegian striker Kasper Hogh. The deal could be a record‑breaking recruit for the Scottish side, with estimates ranging from £11 million to nearly £20 million, highlighting the financial risk Celtic is willing to take to reinforce its attack. Meanwhile, Colombian striker Camilo Duran continues his strong start, having scored twice in pre‑season friendlies. Manager Martin O’Neill is still finalising the squad ahead of the Champions League qualifier, with the striker positions a key focus and other options such as Kyogo Furuhashi and Kasper Høgh still under consideration.
