In the midst of his talks for a new contract at newly promoted Spanish La Liga side Real Oviedo, Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo has emerged as a subject of interest for seven-time Europa League winners Sevilla, Footy-Africa can exclusively confirm.
The latter have subsequently submitted an initial β¬1 million bid to Real Oviedo, with the hope of wrapping up the signing. The bid comes a day after Sevilla made their first approach and contact with Real Oviedo for the versatile midfielder.
Meanwhile, the latest development also comes at a time when Real Oviedo is trying to tie the 27-year-old to a fresh three-year contract. His current deal at the latter is set to run down in the summer of 2026. A source at his agency, Football Promotions Limited, has confirmed Sevilla’s bid, and underlined that Real Oviedo is set to make a decision on whether to sell or proceed to hand the player a new contract.
βKwasi (Sibo) is now locked in making decisions on whether to extend at Real Oviedo or join Sevilla, which is the bigger club. Real Oviedo is also in a similar dilemma, as Sevilla had tabled a β¬1 million offer. They risk losing the player on a free if he stays without signing a new contract. An internal meeting will be held before Thursday to determine their decision on Sibo’s future,β the source exclusively disclosed to Footy-Africa.
