The Sead Haksabanovic story has been rumbling on for well over a week now and it seems, now, that it is about to come to an end.
A report [Daily Record] has claimed that the deal to bring the Montenegro international to Paradise is now in ‘the final stages’ and that the player has already visited Lennoxtown.
No doubt there could be an announcement made at some point today and Haksabanovic will be Ange Postecoglou’s eighth summer signing.
But he’s not done there.
Postecoglou is thought to still be in the market for TWO more additions to the squad and the report says the Celtic boss is still hoping to add another midfielder and a striker.
The striker move could depend on whether or not Ange can offload Albian Ajeti but he will not be the only player moved on.
Chris Jullien is expected to make his move to French side Montpellier today according to L’Equipe:
Transferts : Christopher Jullien presque à Montpellier
Le défenseur central français du Celtic Glasgow devrait arriver ce mardi à Montpellier pour y passer sa visite médicale. Elle sera importante car il n'a pas joué depuis un an et demi https://t.co/3jXyKgT7lb pic.twitter.com/g8Sx3JhJPD

And the report in the Record also states that others in the squad could also be moved on before the end of the window.
This raises further speculation. If we are to add another midfielder and forward, does that mean that players like James McCarthy [Scottish Daily Express] and Mikey Johnston [Football Scotland] are likely to be moved on after the recent summer speculation?
The last ten days of the window are certainly going to be exciting for the Celtic fans.
