Haitham Hassan said about the possibility of his departure this summer: "I have not spoken to anyone at Oviedo yet, but there is one year left on my contract and there is no player who cannot be dispensed with in a club like this".
He added: "Football is a business and at my current age, I think I can add some money to the club, but I don't know what will happen".
He continued: "It was an educational season for me with Real Oviedo and we all made mistakes, it was a difficult season and you saw Oviedo not used to this level but we did not expect it to be this difficult".
He continued: "On a personal level, I went through periods of ups and downs, good times and others of lesser quality, so I needed rest after the season physically and psychologically, I am very happy in Oviedo".
Haitham Hassan concluded about Oviedo: "They always treated me well and I spent the best periods of my professional career here, Oviedo will always remain part of my heart but we will see what happens, I don't know if I will stay or not".
