Sead Haksabanovic was one of the many players sent out on loan from Celtic this season but he hasn’t had the most productive of campaigns.
The winger has failed to nail down a consistent starting spot in the Stoke City team and has increasingly been used as a substitute or left on the bench.
He’s made 22 appearances in total for the English Championship side, scoring just once and registering another two assists.
The 24-year-old signed for Celtic in 2022 when Ange Postecoglou was manager and still has over three years left running on his contract.
A summer return to Lennoxtown is now on the cards but the Bhoys are reported to have also set a price for him to leave to any interested parties.
Celtic set Sead Haksabanovic asking price
Fotboll Direkt in Sweden states that Haksabanovic has already decided he won’t be staying on at Stoke City, meaning Glasgow will be his initial summer destination.
However, Celtic are said to be willing to let him leave for a fee of around 30 million Swedish Krona, which works out at roughly £2.2m at today’s exchange rate.
Whether a suitor would be willing to pay that after some underwhelming performances remains to be seen but the Bhoys are known to be tough negotiators.
Haksabanovic unlikely to have a Celtic future
It would be a surprise if the Montenegro international returned to Celtic and had a role to play under current boss Brendan Rodgers.
The Bhoys manager had a good look at him last summer but he barely got a look in during the initial weeks of the season. It was clear that he wasn’t in Rodgers’ plans.
I don’t think many are expecting Haksabanovic to play a prominent role next term, either, so if a permanent move doesn’t work out there’ll likely be another loan switch.
