Egypt's Haitham Hassan set for Celtic move from Real Oviedo

Egypt international winger Haitham Hassan has reached a final agreement to join Scottish club Celtic from Spain's Real Oviedo during the current summer transfer window.

The Scottish Sun reported that Hassan successfully completed his medical in London earlier this week, marking a significant step toward finalizing the transfer.

The Egyptian player arrived in London on Monday and underwent medical tests ahead of his expected move to Celtic, one of the leading clubs in the Scottish Premiership.

Similarly, Spanish newspaper La Nueva España stated that the deal is almost complete, with the final details expected to be announced in the coming hours.

Negotiation details and challenges

Celtic had shown interest in signing Haitham Hassan earlier in the summer transfer window, but negotiations stalled due to Real Oviedo's insistence on the player's release clause.

This led the Scottish club to explore other options, but they returned to finalize Hassan's deal after talks with other targets, including Faris Ghadjemis, broke down.
