Baba Alhassan (born 3 January 2000) is a Ghanaian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Liga I club FCSB.

Career

Early career / Real Valladolid

Born in Accra, Alhassan started out as a junior at the African Talent Football Academy in Ghana. He then moved to the youth setup of Spanish club Real Valladolid, making his senior debut for the reserves in a 2–3 away Segunda División B loss to Navalcarnero on 28 October 2018.

Hermannstadt

On 7 October 2020, Alhassan joined Romanian team Hermannstadt as a free agent. Eleven days later, he made his Liga I debut in a 1–1 draw with UTA Arad. He scored his first goal—and the only of the match—in a league fixture against Politehnica Iași on 15 May 2021. Alhassan amassed 24 appearances in all competitions in the 2020–21 season, with his club losing the relegation play-offs against Mioveni 1–2 on aggregate.

The following campaign, Alhassan aided with seven goals from 27 league appearances as "the Red and Blacks" finished as Liga II runners-up and returned to the top division. On 15 July 2022, in the season's opener, he scored his first Liga I double in a 3–0 Liga I home defeat of Mioveni.

In October 2023, Alhassan agreed to a contract extension lasting until 2026. On 9 December, Hermannstadt chairman Dănuț Coman stated that he was in negotiations with fellow league clubs and rivals FCSB and Rapid București for the transfer of Alhassan.

FCSB

On 12 December 2023, FCSB general manager Mihai Stoica announced the signing of Alhassan, with the player due to join the team in the winter transfer window. The Roș-albaștrii paid €600,000 and Hermannstadt also retained 20% interest on the capital gain of a possible future transfer. The move was confirmed by FCSB on 23 December.

Alhassan recorded his debut on 21 January 2024, coming on as a 75th-minute substitute for Octavian Popescu in a 4–0 Liga I thrashing of UTA Arad.
