Sead Haksabanovic takes dig in farewell message to Celtic

Sead Haksabanovic's Celtic career could have, and perhaps should have, been so much more than it turned out to be. Signed by the club in the summer of 2022, he showed a lot of promise early on during his time with the Hoops. In fact, he was even awarded the Premiership Player of the Month for November that year as it looked like the Hoops had pulled off another transfer masterstroke.

Unfortunately for Haksabanovic, the World Cup break came at the wrong time. It distrupted the momentum he had built up and opportunities proved much harder to come by in the second half of the campaign.

Haksabanovic was sent out on loan to Stoke City last summer. It was a similar story there as well. He showed a ton of promise at the start before his form faded away.

Haksabanovic's time at Celtic has now come to an end. It has been announced that he has joined Malmo on a permanent basis.

Sead Haksabanovic takes dig in farewell message to Celtic

Haksabanovic posted a farewell message on his Instagram story. And it looks like he could not resist taking a dig on his way out of Parkhead. He wrote:

"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"

One can only wonder who Haksabanovic is talking about here. He did not play a ton of football in his debut campaign with the club and was sent out on loan in the second.

Let's see how things turn out for Haksabanovic at Malmo. He is a talented player without a doubt but needs to find some consistency. If he can do that, he should prove to be a success in the Allsvenskan.

As for Celtic, it remains to be seen what kind of signings they end up making this summer. Not many would have expected the first deal of the window to be an exit.
