FC Barcelona declines option on Abdul Aziz Issah as Ghanaian midfielder returns to Dreams FC

Aziz 1 710x444 1

Abdul Aziz Issah’s spell with FC Barcelona has officially concluded, with the Spanish club announcing on Monday that it will not exercise the purchase option in the young Ghanaian midfielder’s loan agreement.

The 19-year-old joined Barça Atlètic on loan from Dreams FC in September 2024, arriving as one of Ghana’s most promising U23 internationals.

His composure in midfield and vision in distribution initially drew positive attention, earning him an early invitation to train with the senior squad under newly appointed manager Hansi Flick.

Despite this early promise, Issah struggled to secure a place in the reserve side’s plans throughout the season.

He made just two appearances, totalling 26 minutes on the pitch, and was a peripheral figure in matchday squads for much of the campaign.

The lack of consistent playing time appears to have been a key factor in Barcelona’s decision not to extend his stay.

Issah departs the Catalan side alongside six other players whose contracts or loan agreements are expiring this summer.

He is now expected to rejoin Dreams FC in Ghana, where he first emerged as a standout youth talent before making his move to Europe.

While his brief tenure in Spain did not yield significant playing opportunities, it offered the teenager valuable experience in a top-level football environment.

Exposure to the demands of one of the world’s most competitive training systems and the structure of a European club at Barcelona’s level often provides young players with important professional and personal development.

Issah’s return to Dreams FC will likely reignite interest in his progress, especially given the potential he showed prior to his move abroad.

Though this chapter ends without the breakthrough many had anticipated, it may yet serve as a springboard for the midfielder’s long-term growth.

Barcelona, in confirming the departure, expressed appreciation for the efforts of the departing players, including Issah, as the club reshapes its squad for the upcoming season.

For Issah, attention now turns to the next step — back in familiar territory, but armed with fresh lessons from one of football’s elite institutions.
