The World Cup is, for many players, the opportunity to show themselves to the world. This is particularly true for players who can sometimes be in difficulty at their club, or for players who play in little-publicized championships. Many people, with a few good performances in a World Cup, are rewarded with a transfer to a club/championship of a higher standard than the one in which they were playing at the start of the tournament.
With his great performance against Argentina – which earned him a place in our typical team for the eighth of this 2026 World Cup – Haissem Hassan also caught the eye of many fans and observers. The Egyptian right winger – born and trained in France – is however coming off a rather average season… He was thus relegated to the Spanish second division with Oviedo, and ended the season with 3 assists and no goals in 37 La Liga matches (including 20 starts). If he also made an impression with some breakthroughs in the defenses as he was also able to do against the Albiceleste, his season will have been marked by a certain irregularity.
Already offers!
Trained in Châteauroux and left for Villarreal to conclude his training, he had especially shone during loans to Mirandés and Gijon in the second division in recent years, before Oviedo bought him for 1.5 million euros in the summer of 2024. What is certain is that the Carbayones will make a nice added value, and the Cadena COPE indicates that clubs have already come to the news, and that several offers have even already arrived on the management desk.
Celtic and several English clubs would thus be interested in his profile according to various British media, with a first Scottish offer which would also have been refused. The management of Oviedo demands from the clubs that covet him the payment of his release clause of 12 million euros, especially since Villarreal should receive part of the transfer, with 40% of a capital gain which would end up in the coffers of his first Spanish club. The Voice of Asturias indicates for its part that the player wishes to leave. Notice to those interested…
