Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo is being linked with a move from LaLiga side Real Oviedo to MLS club Columbus, according to transfer listings.
The 27-year-old central midfielder, currently valued at €1.40m, has emerged as a reported target for the Ohio outfit, with the move flagged on transfer databases as a potential switch rather than an advanced negotiation. No fee has been indicated and there is no public information on the length of his deal in Spain, leaving observers to speculate whether Oviedo could look to cash in or risk Sibo eventually leaving as a free agent.
Sibo only joined Real Oviedo from SD Amorebieta ahead of the current campaign and has seen his market value rise sharply during his time in Spain’s top flight, peaking at €1.5m in October 2025 before a slight dip to its current €1.40m in December. The reported probability of a move to Columbus is not specified, underlining the tentative nature of the rumour.
Born in Wa, Ghana, on 24 June 1998, the 1.83m right-footed midfielder has built a varied career path. After leaving Cheetah FC in his homeland, he moved to FC Urartu in Armenia, then joined Watford, where his development included multiple loans to KF Skënderbeu in Albania and UD Ibiza in Spain. Subsequent spells at Betis Deportivo and Amorebieta in the Spanish system preceded his step up to Oviedo.
Experience across Armenia, Albania, England and Spain could appeal to Columbus, who would be recruiting a midfielder accustomed to adapting to different leagues and styles. With the listing offering no clarity on contract duration or the likelihood of a deal, Sibo’s situation remains one to watch as MLS clubs continue to scan European squads.
Should a transfer materialise, a switch to Columbus could give Sibo a fresh platform in MLS to consolidate his reputation and shape the next phase of his career.
