Liverpool are reportedly advancing their efforts to secure the signing of Real Oviedo winger Haissem Hassan, with the club expressing confidence in finalising the deal. The Reds have been active in the transfer market after a disappointing season, and the departure of key players has opened up an opportunity to enhance their attacking options.
After finishing fifth in the Premier League last season, Liverpool parted ways with head coach Arne Slot and have been active in the transfer window this summer. According to Football365, Liverpool’s interest in Hassan coincides with ongoing speculation regarding the future of players like Cody Gakpo and Alexis Mac Allister, who have been linked with moves away from Anfield.
Liverpool target Haissem Hassan
Reports suggest that Liverpool have initiated talks with Real Oviedo regarding Haissem Hassan, following his impressive performances at the World Cup. The 24-year-old winger has seen his market value rise, and Liverpool are optimistic about securing him for a fee below his €12 million release clause, capitalising on Real Oviedo’s relegation to the Segunda División.
Gakpo’s exit signals need for new wingers
The anticipated transfer of Gakpo to Tottenham appears likely, reinforcing Liverpool’s pressing need to strengthen their squad following a series of departures, including Mohamed Salah, who has also left the club. The Reds had previously signed Victor Munoz from Osasuna, but the management is keen on adding further attacking talent to strengthen their options ahead of the new season.
Competition for Barcola and other targets
While Hassan is firmly on the club’s radar, Liverpool are also reportedly keen on signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. Recent insights indicate that Barcola is no longer deemed “untouchable” at PSG, opening the door for Liverpool and Arsenal to compete for his signature. The outcome will likely hinge upon the terms of the financial package Liverpool are prepared to present, as PSG is expected to demand real compensation.
The SportiveNews view
As Liverpool navigates a transition period, the club’s ability to secure Haissem Hassan might hinge on timely negotiations and a strategic financial approach, given Real Oviedo’s relegation. With interest from other clubs like Tottenham over Gakpo and serious competition for Barcola, Liverpool needs to act swiftly to reinforce their attacking options before the window closes.
