Real Madrid to sign Gyamfuaa
According to football journalist Matteo Moretto, the deal has been finalised, and Clifford Nana Kusi Gyamfuaa is expected to sign his contract at Valdebebas in the coming days.
The Ghanaian youngster is seen as a long-term project who fits into the youth development programme at La Fabrica, Real Madrid’s academy structure.
Los Blancos have signalled a renewed focus on recruiting young prospects with high potential.
The 16-year-old is not expected to break straight into the senior team, though discussions suggest his technical quality could earn him minutes with the club’s reserve side, Real Madrid Castilla, per Ghana Sports Online.
Details about Clifford Kusi
Clifford Nana Kusi Gyamfuaa began his development at FC Barcelona’s famed academy, La Masia, before leaving in 2023.
The 16-year-old later joined CF Damm in Catalonia, where his rapid progress caught the attention of scouts in Spain’s capital.
The Ghanaian youngster is known for his dribbling ability and eye for goal, having scored seven times in 11 matches this season, per Barca Universal.
