Celtic have been linked with a move for Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan, with claims in Spain suggesting an offer has been made for the 24-year-old.

Real Oviedo fan account Varo, who posts under @RO1926__, has claimed Celtic have submitted a €4million offer for Hassan.

According to the claim, Real Oviedo would receive around €2.4million from the deal, with the rest of the fee understood to be affected by the player’s ownership or sell-on situation.

The same account also claims there has been sounding out from elsewhere, but no formal offer at this stage.

It is important to stress that this has not yet been confirmed by either Celtic or Real Oviedo, and the line should be treated with caution until stronger confirmation arrives.

That said, Hassan is an interesting name for Celtic supporters to keep an eye on.

The winger has been linked with the Hoops before, and his profile would make sense if Celtic are looking to add more pace and direct running in the wide areas.

Hassan is primarily a right-sided attacker but has also played from the left, giving him the kind of flexibility Celtic often look for in the final third.

The reported fee is also worth noting.

A €4million offer would not be a small move from Celtic, but it would sit within the range the club have been willing to operate in when targeting players they believe can grow in value.

From Real Oviedo’s point of view, any deal may be complicated by how much of the fee they would actually receive. The claim that Oviedo would take around €2.4million from a €4million offer.

That could make negotiations more difficult if the Spanish side feel the fee does not fully reflect what they would bank from the sale.

For now, this remains a report rather than a confirmed bid.

Celtic have been active in assessing attacking options this summer, and Hassan’s name is now back in the conversation.

The next step will be whether the claim is backed up by other sources in Spain, or whether either club gives any indication that talks are taking place.
