Sead Haksabanovic Confirms Celtic Exit with Emotional Farewell

Celtic winger Sead Haksabanovic has officially confirmed his departure from the club through an emotional social media post. The announcement brings to an end a period of speculation regarding his future, following a season-long loan at Stoke City.

In his heartfelt message, Haksabanovic expressed mixed feelings about his early exit: “So my time at Celtic has come to an end, earlier than I thought and expected and wanted but some other people had another opinion and I gotta respect that. Wanna thank the players, the staff and the fans because that is really what Celtic is about, we made some good memories together and I will always have love for Celtic, good luck and Celtic are f*cking massive everywhere they go, all the best for the future.”

This announcement confirms earlier reports suggesting the Montenegro international was on the verge of a move to Swedish champions Malmo. Details of the deal are yet to be disclosed, but it seems both clubs are finalising the terms of his transfer.

Haksabanovic joined Celtic under Ange Postecoglou and initially showed promise. However, his journey at the club took an unexpected turn when Postecoglou left for Tottenham Hotspur last summer. The arrival of Brendan Rodgers as the new manager marked a challenging period for Haksabanovic, who struggled to secure a place in the squad.

The situation escalated following a controversial social media post by Haksabanovic, where he lamented his lack of Game time. The post, which has since been deleted, appeared to have strained his relationship with Rodgers. The Celtic manager addressed the issue in a press conference last August, expressing surprise at Haksabanovic’s comments and affirming his respectful treatment of the player.

This episode seemingly marked the beginning of the end for Haksabanovic at Celtic. As Haksabanovic embarks on a new chapter with Malmo, Celtic fans are left with a mix of gratitude and disappointment. His farewell message shows a measure of respect for the club.
