Player to depart Celtic “shortly,” agrees to a 5-year contract; club negotiating with Brendan Rodgers’ camp

Sead Hakšabanović of Celtic will not be playing for Brendan Rodgers’ team going forward. He spent the previous season on loan at Stoke City.

We reported on Swedish reports last month that Verona, Torino, and Parma were interested in the winger. It was said that Celtic, who signed him in 2022 for €2.5 million, believes he is worth €3 million.

The Celtics player is reportedly poised to join Malmö FF, therefore he won’t be going to Italy, according to Expressen in Sweden. The 25-year-old is being purchased by Malmö from Brendan Rodgers’ side, as first reported by Fotboll Direkt. The Celtic man will be “presented shortly” to the Swedish club, according to their statement.
Expressen then offers their own information on this situation, supporting this. The Montenegro international is rumored to have reached a five-year contract with Malmö; they now need to work out a deal with Celtic.

Malmö and Celtic will “agree on the framework of the deal,” according to sources who spoke with Expressen. The two teams are attempting to come to an agreement “shortly” over the player’s transfer.

Neither Celtic’s request nor the amount Malmö will offer to sign Hakšabanović are mentioned.
