Haissem Hassan Update as Celtic Transfer Decision Looms

Haissem Hassan is expected to return to Real Oviedo training on Wednesday unless progress is made over his future before then.

La Voz de Asturias reports that the winger is due back in Asturias and will rejoin Julián Calero’s squad while waiting for his transfer situation to be resolved.

The wording points towards Oviedo preparing for Hassan to leave this summer, although his next club has not been confirmed.

Celtic have been linked with the 24-year-old as Martin O’Neill looks to add another wide attacker following Daizen Maeda’s move to Ipswich Town.

The Hoops have already strengthened their forward line with Camilo Duran, while Kasper Høgh is set to arrive from Bodø/Glimt in a major deal.

Another winger would still give O’Neill greater balance across the front line, and Hassan has emerged as one of the names under consideration.

However, the latest update from Spain does not state that Celtic have agreed a fee with Oviedo or settled personal terms with the player.

It instead suggests Hassan remains available for training while discussions over a possible departure continue.

That means claims of a completed agreement should still be treated carefully until there is confirmation from either club.

Hassan is expected to be back with Oviedo ahead of their next pre-season friendly, although that could change if negotiations move quickly.

His situation remains one to watch as Celtic continue to assess their attacking options before the Premiership campaign begins.

The winger has one year remaining on his contract, which places Oviedo in a position where they may consider a sale rather than risk losing him for nothing next summer.

Celtic’s interest appears genuine, but the key question is whether the club will turn that interest into an offer acceptable to the Spanish side.

For now, Hassan is preparing to return to training, with his future still unresolved and a transfer yet to be completed.
