Celtic transfer assessed as club admit 'huge loss' in selling key ace to Hoops but deal a 'miracle'

Rubin Kazan sporting director Oleg Yarovinski says the fee they have landed from Sead Haksabanovic is one that leaves them extremely satisfied.

The Hoops have signed the Montenegro international for a reported fee of around £1.7 million and he takes up their number nine shirt as their new number nine. He joins Daizen Maeda, Benjamin Siegrist, Cameron-Carter-Vickers, Jota, Alexandro Bernabei, Moritz Jenz and Aaron Mooy as permanent or loan arrivals in Parkhead this summer. He will be another attacking option for boss Ange Postecoglou, with Haksabanovic able to play on the flanks or as a striker.

Yarovinski says it is a miracle his side managed to get what they did for the former West Ham United they paid £5.4 million to sign from Swedish side IFK Norrkoping just a year ago. Rubin Kazan are delighted to get some sort of money for him from Celtic, even if it's a big loss, after previously slamming UEFA and FIFA for allowing their foreign players to leave for free amid their nation's war with Ukraine.
