Reports from La Voz de Asturias suggest that discussions are progressing well, and a deal could be finalized soon.

He mentions that while negotiations with Alhassane are ongoing, Bologna is aiming to negotiate a lower fee than the €4 million request put forth by Real Oviedo.
Alhassane’s current contract runs until June 2028, and he is capable of playing both left-back and in central defense.
