Ghana international Kwasi Sibo is expected to leave Spanish side Real Oviedo when his contract expires at the end of June, bringing the curtain down on a memorable spell that coincided with the club’s return to Spain’s top flight.
According to reports in Spain, the 27-year-old midfielder will part ways with Oviedo on June 30, 2026, despite playing a pivotal role in the club’s recent achievements.
The Ghanaian is set to become a free agent, with growing interest from Saudi Arabia and reports suggesting that a lucrative offer is already on the table ahead of the summer transfer window.
Sibo joined Real Oviedo from SD Amorebieta in 2024 following the Basque club’s relegation to the Primera Federación. Since arriving at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere, he has established himself as a key figure in midfield, helping Oviedo secure promotion to La Liga and successfully compete among Spain’s elite.
His impressive club performances also earned him a breakthrough on the international stage, receiving his maiden call-up to the Black Stars and making his senior Ghana debut in 2025.
Since then, the former Cheetah FC midfielder has grown into one of Ghana’s most reliable performers, delivering a series of composed and influential displays in the heart of midfield.
Sibo’s consistency and tactical intelligence have strengthened his chances of securing a regular starting role for Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where the Black Stars will be aiming to make a deep run in the tournament.
Although Real Oviedo will not receive a transfer fee due to the expiration of his contract, the Spanish club could still benefit financially through FIFA’s Club Benefits Programme if Sibo features for Ghana at the World Cup.
Reports from Spain indicate that Oviedo officials will closely follow his performances during the tournament, with a strong showing potentially increasing his market value and attracting further interest ahead of a likely move to the Saudi Pro League.
Sibo’s rise over the past two years has been nothing short of remarkable. After helping both Amorebieta and Oviedo achieve promotion campaigns, he has evolved into one of Ghana’s most dependable midfielders.
His energy, tactical discipline, ball-winning ability and composure in possession have made him an indispensable asset for both club and country.
With a move to Saudi Arabia appearing increasingly likely, the upcoming World Cup could provide the perfect platform for Sibo to showcase his talent on the global stage before embarking on the next exciting chapter of his career.
