Football News: Sead Haksabanovic Signs 4-Year Deal with Malmo
In the latest football transfer news, Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic has signed a four-year deal with Swedish champions Malmo. The Sweden-born Montenegro midfielder joined Celtic from Rubin Kazan for a reported £2.5m fee in August 2022.
Haksabanovic’s contract with Rubin Kazan had been suspended after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and he spent three months on loan at Djurgardens in Sweden before being signed by Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic last year. However, the 25-year-old fell out of favour following the return of Brendan Rodgers as Celtic manager last summer and joined Stoke City on loan for the duration of the 2022-23 season.
“Malmo have now secured the services of Haksabanovic, who will wear the number 29 shirt for the Swedish champions. The midfielder could make his debut for Malmo in their home match against his former club Halmstads on 7 July.”
Born in Hyltebruk, southern Sweden, Haksabanovic made his professional debut at the age of 15 for Halmstads. He later moved to West Ham United in 2017, but his time with the Hammers was primarily spent on loan to Norrkoping and Spanish club Malaga before he joined the Swedish club permanently.
This transfer represents a fresh start for Haksabanovic, who will be looking to regain his form and make an impact in the upcoming 2024 UEFA Euro qualifiers, the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League, and the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup.
