Scottish Premiership giants Celtic have successfully secured the transfer of Egyptian winger Haitham Hassan from Spanish side Real Oviedo. The highly anticipated move sees Hassan commit to a four-season deal, keeping him at Celtic Park until the summer of 2030. The details of this significant transfer were first brought to light by prominent journalist Giorgos Tsarouchas.

Tsarouchas, utilizing his official platform on ‘X’, confirmed that a complete agreement had been reached among all involved parties. The Egyptian talent readily accepted the offer put forward by the reigning Scottish champions, while Real Oviedo expressed their willingness to facilitate the departure of their star player. Final negotiations are reportedly concluding on specific performance-based bonuses.

A key element within the contract specifies a substantial financial incentive for both Haitham Hassan and his former club, Real Oviedo, should Celtic successfully navigate the qualification rounds and reach the league phase of the prestigious UEFA Champions League. This particular clause had been previously highlighted by Tsarouchas in an earlier report published on July 26.

Celtic has been vigorously pursuing this acquisition, which Tsarouchas notably described as ‘colossal’. Their efforts aim to bring in a player he lauded as a ‘World Cup star’ and the ‘Egyptian sensation’, especially following his remarkable display against Argentina. Real Oviedo had been seeking a transfer fee in the range of €6 to €7 million for the winger.

This high-profile transfer had attracted considerable interest from several other Spanish and English clubs, all eager to sign the Egyptian winger. Tsarouchas had previously identified Hassan as ‘a player to watch’, acknowledging his emergence as one of La Liga’s most promising rising talents.
