Hassan admits he will leave Oviedo, let’s hope Celtic is his destination | OneFootball

Celtic target Haissem Hassan has admitted that he expects to leave his current side Real Oviedo during this transfer window with Celtic seemingly leading the chase for the exciting winger who impressed at the recent World Cup finals…

Marseille are also rumoured to be in for the Egyptian international, who has a release clause set at £10 million, but it’s believed that Celtic could negotiate with Real Oviedo to land Hassan for a significantly lower transfer fee.

Hassan said, as reported by The National: “I haven’t spoken to anyone at Oviedo yet, but I have one year left on my contract and nobody is untouchable at a club like this. Football is a business and, at my age, I think I can bring in some money for the club. But I don’t know what will happen.

“It was a learning season for me with Real Oviedo in La Liga and we’ve all made mistakes. It was a difficult season – you saw an Oviedo team that wasn’t used to this level, but we didn’t imagine it would be this tough.

“On a personal level? I’ve had my ups and downs, good times and not-so-good times. So I needed a break after the season both physically and mentally.

“I’m very happy in Oviedo. They’ve always treated me well and I’ve experienced the best time of my career here. Oviedo will always be a part of my heart, but we’ll see what happens.

“I don’t know if I’ll stay or not.”

With the recent sale of Maik Nawrocki, and missing out on Kelechi Iheanacho and Marcelo Saracchi, plus with the likes of Arne Engels, Daizen Maeda, and Reo Hatate all set to leave Celtic, it’s vital that we get some new faces in the door asap.

Signing Hassiem would be a good way to start what will hopefully be an influx of new faces over the next few weeks.
