Columbus are being linked with a move for Real Oviedo midfielder Kwasi Sibo, with the Ghanaian reportedly attracting interest from Major League Soccer following his rise in Spain.
The 27-year-old central midfielder, valued at €1.40m on Transfermarkt as of December 2025, is the subject of a rumoured switch from La Liga side Real Oviedo to the MLS club. The likelihood of the transfer remains unclear, with the move being listed without a firm probability and no agreement announced between the clubs.
Sibo’s contractual situation at Oviedo is not specified in the available data, leaving open the possibility that he could become a free agent or be available for a relatively modest fee, a factor that may encourage interest from Columbus. Any deal would mark a return to a non-European league structure for the Ghanaian after almost a decade on the continent.
Born in Wa, Ghana, on 24 June 1998, Sibo has built a varied career since leaving Cheetah FC for FC Urartu Yerevan in Armenia in 2017. A move to Watford followed in 2018, with a series of loans and transfers taking him to KF Skënderbeu in Albania and then UD Ibiza in Spain. Spells at Betis Deportivo Balompié and SD Amorebieta preceded his switch to Real Oviedo, where his market value climbed steadily from €200,000 in his early Spanish days to a peak of €1.50m in October 2025 before settling at €1.40m in December.
A right-footed central midfielder, Sibo’s experience across Armenia, Albania, England and Spain, combined with his recent form for Oviedo, appears to have caught the eye in MLS. Should the move materialise, a transfer to Columbus would offer him a new stage on which to underline his development and could prove a significant next step in shaping both his reputation and long‑term career trajectory.
