Spanish side Real Oviedo is keen to secure the long-term future of Ghana international midfielder Kwasi Sibo, whose stock continues to rise following a stellar campaign that helped the club earn promotion to the Primera La Liga.
Sibo, who joined Oviedo from Amorebieta last season, still has a contract running until June 2026, but club executives are eager to extend it by another year – a proactive move aimed at fending off potential suitors.
According to GHANAsoccernet.com sources, the club does not want to rely on the automatic renewal clause that triggers after 25 appearances this season, given Sibo’s current tally of five games.
However, sources close to the player reveal that negotiations have hit a snag. Sibo’s representatives are reportedly demanding improved terms before agreeing to the extension, insisting that the Ghana international’s growing reputation – especially after his national team debut against Mali – warrants a better deal.
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon and Ghana expected to qualify, Oviedo fears losing Sibo’s services or watching his market value skyrocket if he shines on the global stage.
For now, both parties remain locked in talks, but Oviedo is determined to keep one of their midfield gems at the Carlos Tartiere Stadium for years to come.
