Haitham Hassan shone during the World Cup in the matches against Australia and Argentina, attracting the attention of some clubs to him.
Tsaroushas clarified that Haitham has given his approval to Celtic to join for a period of 4 seasons.
He added that his club Real Oviedo is willing to allow him to leave.
The two clubs are currently negotiating the terms related to bonuses, according to Tsaroushas.
Days ago, the English newspaper The Sun revealed that Haitham Hassan is close to moving to Celtic.
According to The Sun, the Scottish champions are close to finalizing a deal with Haitham for 7 million pounds sterling to bolster the squad during the current summer transfer window.
The Real Oviedo winger delivered one of his best performances in the Egyptian national team jersey, after assisting Egypt's second goal against Argentina, shining in the match that saw an Egyptian goal disallowed amid widespread refereeing controversy after the game.
Despite Egypt's exit from the tournament following the loss to Argentina, the player's performance attracted the interest of several clubs that began inquiring about his contractual status and the possibility of signing him during the current summer transfer window.
According to Spanish reports, Oviedo refuses to let Haitham go without receiving the full release clause amounting to 12 million euros, especially since his former club Villarreal will receive 40% of his transfer value to any team.
Haitham Hassan participated in two matches with the Egyptian national team during the 2026 World Cup and assisted a goal against Argentina, and also contributed to scoring another goal in a brilliant way, but it was disallowed after a video review.
Haitham Hassan contributed to Oviedo's promotion to the Spanish La Liga, but the team returned to the second division after one season.
Haitham participated in 38 matches during the past season with Oviedo and managed to assist three goals without scoring.
