Liverpool have reportedly added Egypt international Haissem Hassan to their list of potential summer signings following the winger’s impressive performances at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Reports published around July 14 claimed that the Premier League club were monitoring Hassan’s situation at Real Oviedo and considering a move for the 24-year-old. Some outlets went further, suggesting that Liverpool had opened discussions with the Spanish club, although neither side had officially confirmed negotiations at the time.
Hassan emerged as one of Egypt’s standout players during the tournament, featuring throughout the Pharaohs’ run to the Round of 16. His pace, direct dribbling and ability to operate on either wing reportedly attracted attention from several European clubs, significantly raising his profile in the summer transfer market.
The France-born attacker joined Real Oviedo from Villarreal in August 2024 after spending the previous campaign on loan at Sporting Gijón. When announcing the signing, Oviedo described Hassan as a versatile winger with experience in Spanish football’s second tier. He agreed to a three-year contract that runs until June 2027.
Liverpool are not believed to be the only club interested. Celtic and Marseille have also been linked with Hassan, while reports have placed his release clause at approximately €12 million. However, the exact figure has varied between outlets, and no verified transfer fee or formal offer from Liverpool has been publicly disclosed.
A potential move to Anfield would carry additional significance for Egyptian supporters following Mohamed Salah’s celebrated spell with Liverpool. Hassan would arrive with a different profile and at an earlier stage of his career, but the possibility of another Egyptian attacker wearing the famous red shirt has already generated excitement among fans.
For now, Liverpool’s reported interest remains unconfirmed speculation rather than a completed deal. Still, the links underline how Hassan’s World Cup performances have transformed his reputation and placed him among the most closely watched Egyptian players in the European transfer market.
