Hassan and Rio Ave mutually agreed to terminate his contract, which was valid until the end of the season. Hassan, with a long history at the club, is now free to sign with another club in January.

Ahmed Hassan, an Egyptian forward, has been underutilized at Rio Ave, having played only 346 minutes this season across 11 matches. With only two starts, his contract is until the end of the season, but an early exit is possible in the winter market, including a potential contract termination.
