Rahim Alhassane joins Bologna

Bologna FC 1909 is delighted to announce the permanent signing of defender Rahim Alhassane from Real Oviedo.

The first Nigerien player in the Club’s history, Alhassane is a modern left-back with pace, intensity and a strong attacking instinct. Born in 2002, Rahim spent his formative years in Spanish football before establishing himself at Real Oviedo. His performances over recent seasons have cemented his place in the professional game and earned him a regular place in the Niger national team. His move to the Rossoblù marks an important step in his career after a season in which he made 27 appearances at left-back in a four-man defence.
