Hoops Secure Dynamic Winger in Marquee Deal
Celtic's summer spending spree continues with the high-profile capture of Haissem Hassan from Real Oviedo. The winger has committed to a four-year contract with an option for a fifth, making the move another significant statement of intent from the Scottish champions.
The initial outlay stands at £6 million, but performance-related add-ons could see that figure rise to £9 million. Crucially, a substantial portion of those bonuses hinges on Celtic successfully navigating the Champions League play-off round and securing a spot in the lucrative league phase. Hassan is the club's third arrival this summer, following Camilo Duran and Kasper Hogh.

Following a swift medical in London, the Egypt international wasted no time making his intentions clear. At 24, Hassan expressed a strong desire for a new challenge after six impactful years in Spain, viewing Celtic as the perfect next step in his burgeoning career.
"With Celtic's history, all the great players, the fans, and the atmosphere, I think this is the perfect moment for me," Hassan enthused. "I know I’m joining a big club, the biggest club in Scotland, and I’m really looking forward to taking the next step."
His move also presents an exciting opportunity to immerse himself in a new culture, learn English, and experience a different style of football.
