Overview
- Multiple outlets report negotiations are advanced for a package roughly £6 million up front with add‑ons that could take the total toward £9 million, though no club has made an official announcement.
- Real Oviedo omitted Hassan from a pre‑season squad selection, a move several sources say signals the clubs are close to agreement and the player is awaiting permission to travel for a medical.
- The transfer still requires administrative steps: a visa for travel from Spain to Scotland, completion of a medical and final sign‑off on contract clauses before registration can be filed for European competition.
- Reports name Olympique de Marseille as a competing suitor and some outlets say Hassan has discussed personal terms with the French club, adding uncertainty while Oviedo’s sporting staff reportedly accept a sale.
- Hassan has one year left on his contract and a reported release clause near £10 million, a combination that has pressured Oviedo to negotiate this window and that elevated interest after his World Cup performances.
