Celtic's bid to sign Haissem Hassan faces setback as he prefers Marseille

Celtic’s attempts to acquire winger Haissem Hassan have been hampered as he now favors a move to Marseille. Reports indicate that Marseille has reached an agreement on personal terms with the 24-year-old Egyptian international. Although the transfer is not finalized, concerns grow for Celtic as Marseille must first clear space in their squad. Previous confidence surrounding Celtic's position has diminished due to Hassan's changing preferences. The Scottish side seeks a replacement for departing player Daizen Maeda, making this potential loss a significant setback in their recruitment efforts.
