Ghana midfielder Kwasi Sibo has officially signed a three-year contract with Libyan Premier League champions Al-Swehly, according to official sources. The 28-year-old player arrived as a free agent after departing Spanish club Real Oviedo at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. The transfer comes after a complex saga involving a Turkish club, Gençlerbirliği, whose offer was ultimately unsuccessful.
Al-Swehly reportedly presented a substantial three-year deal valued at around $10 million, though the net worth might be closer to $7.5 million after deductions. In addition to his salary, Sibo is granted an apartment within Libya as part of the contract.
Prior to this move, Sibo was part of Ghana's national team during the 2026 FIFA World Cup, contributing 249 minutes across all four matches. With his relocation to North Africa, Sibo will now concentrate on Al-Swehly's ambition to excel in the CAF Champions League, which the Libyan champions are scheduled to face in the preliminary round against Zanzibar's KVZ.
Al-Swehly confirmed the signing through a welcome video, emphasizing Sibo's importance to their squad as they strive to make a statement on the continental football stage.
