Scottish football powerhouse Celtic has successfully secured the transfer of Egyptian winger Haitham Hassan. The prominent talent arrives from Spanish club Real Oviedo, penning a significant four-season deal that will keep him at Celtic Park until the summer of 2030.

Journalist Giorgos Tsarouchas, a well-regarded voice in sports news, confirmed the completion of this agreement. Taking to his official account on the platform « X », Tsarouchas indicated that all parties involved had reached a full consensus. The Egyptian player readily accepted the offer from the reigning Scottish champions, while Real Oviedo signaled their readiness to sanction their star player’s departure, with only a few final bonus incentives remaining under negotiation.

A critical component of this new contract is a substantial financial bonus earmarked for both Haitham Hassan and his former club, Real Oviedo. This lucrative clause will be activated should Celtic successfully qualify for the league phase of the prestigious Champions League. Tsarouchas had previously highlighted this particular detail in a report issued on July 26, foreshadowing the magnitude of the deal.

Celtic’s pursuit of Hassan has been characterized by sustained efforts to finalize what Tsarouchas has described as a « colossal » transfer. The club aims to integrate a player he lauded as a « World Cup star and the Egyptian star, » whose exceptional performance against Argentina garnered widespread attention. Real Oviedo, for their part, had been seeking a transfer fee in the range of 6 to 7 million euros for their prized asset.

The move to Celtic comes after intense competition, with several other Spanish and English clubs having expressed keen interest in signing the dynamic Egyptian winger. Following his impressive rise as one of La Liga’s most promising talents, Hassan had firmly established himself as « a player to watch, » according to Tsarouchas.
