Conflicting reports on status of Alhassane transfer to Bologna amid €4m demand

Conflicting reports on status of Alhassane transfer to Bologna amid €4m demand There are mixed reports in Italy and Spain on the status of Bologna talks for Real Oviedo left-back Rahim Alhassane, with an asking price of €4m. The 24-year-old is a Niger international who has been at Real Oviedo since the summer of 2024. He made 28 appearances for the club last season between LaLiga and the Copa del Rey, without contributing any assists or goals.

That is not the version of events given by Sky Sport Italia transfer expert Gianluca Di Marzio. He notes that although Alhassane talks are certainly on, Bologna are hoping to get an agreement reached for less than the €4m asking price set by Real Oviedo. His current contract runs to June 2028 and the player can also do a job in central defence as well as left-back.
