Real Madrid Agree Deal to Sign Ghanaian Defender Oscar Naasei From Granada
Real Madrid have reportedly struck a deal to bring in Ghanaian centre-back Oscar Naasei from Granada, in a move worth €2 million. At just 21, Naasei is being brought in as a long-term project rather than an immediate first-team option.
The medical is already done. Naasei is now set to begin his Real Madrid journey with Castilla, the club’s reserve side, where he’ll start working his way toward the senior squad.
For a young defender, landing at Real Madrid is about as big as it gets. What makes it even sweeter is that the club beat out competition from a German side that had also been chasing his signature.
Naasei has clearly been turning heads during his time in Spain, and this move rewards that with a spot inside one of the most respected football academies in the world.
The €2 million price tag says a lot about how much faith Real Madrid have in his potential. That said, nobody’s expecting him to walk straight into the first team. The immediate plan is far more measured — settle in through Castilla, adapt to the club’s standards, and build from there.
Being part of Real Madrid’s system also means training and developing alongside some of the most highly rated young players in world football, all working toward the same long-term goal of breaking into the senior side.
Naasei chose Madrid over Germany, and now the challenge shifts to making the most of that decision.
Primarily a centre-back, though comfortable filling in at right-back too, Naasei’s journey to Spain started back in 2023, when he made the move from Ghanaian lower-tier club Emmanuel City to join Granada’s under-19 side. Since then, he’s steadily worked his way up through the ranks.
His numbers tell the story of a player who’s been trusted with real minutes 71 appearances across all competitions since arriving in Spain, including both of Granada’s La Liga 2 matches so far this season.
