Latif Issman signs for Real Madrid Castilla from UD Logroñés

Real Madrid has secured the signature of 19-year-old Ghanaian midfield prospect Latif Issman, further strengthening their youth development pipeline. The Spanish giants finalized the deal with UD Logroñés on November 12, 2026, marking a significant milestone for the young athlete. Under the terms of the agreement, Issman is scheduled to officially join the Real Madrid Castilla squad ahead of the 2027/28 football season.

The acquisition of the Ghanaian teenager underscores Real Madrid’s strategic focus on identifying and recruiting high-potential talent at an early age. By integrating Issman into the Castilla setup, the club provides him with a clear pathway to develop under the guidance of elite coaching staff within one of the world's most prestigious football academies. His transition from UD Logroñés to the Spanish capital is expected to provide him with the technical and tactical refinement necessary to compete at the highest levels of European football.

As Issman prepares for his move to the Santiago Bernabéu’s reserve team, the Ghanaian football community remains optimistic about his future prospects. His journey to one of the world’s biggest clubs is seen as a testament to the growing talent emerging from Ghana and the effectiveness of Spanish scouting networks in the region. The 2027/28 season will serve as the first major test for the midfielder as he aims to follow in the footsteps of other African stars who have successfully navigated the ranks of the Madrid hierarchy.
