Bologna have completed the signing of Rahim Alhassane from Real Oviedo for a reported fee of €3.5 million. The 24-year-old left-back makes history by becoming the first player from Niger to represent the Serie A club.
Historic move for Bologna and Alhassane
Alhassane arrives in Italy after impressing at Real Oviedo, where his pace, defensive reliability and attacking support from the left flank helped establish him as one of the club's key players. His performances earned him recognition as one of the standout full-backs in Spain's second tier.
The transfer marks a significant milestone for both the player and Bologna, with Alhassane becoming the first Nigerien footballer to wear the Rossoblù shirt since the club's foundation.
Serie A challenge awaits
Bologna believe Alhassane has the qualities to strengthen their defensive options ahead of the new season. The €3.5m investment reflects the club's confidence in the defender's potential to adapt to Serie A.
The 24-year-old is expected to join his new teammates immediately and begin preparations for the upcoming campaign, as Bologna continue to reinforce their squad following another successful season in Italian football.
