Real Madrid has finalized the signing of Ghanaian defender Oscar Naasei from Spanish second-tier club Granada. The 21-year-old center-back, valued at approximately €2 million, is set to join the club's youth system. Initially, Naasei will play for Real Madrid Castilla, the reserve team competing in Spain's third division. The versatile defender, capable of playing at right-back, has agreed to a two-year contract with the option to extend it to five years upon progressing to the first team.

Naasei's journey began in Ghana, where he started his football education at Emmanuel City Football Academy. Moving to Spain in 2023, he quickly advanced through Granada's youth system and made his senior debut in the LaLiga Hypermotion later that year. Despite attracting interest from clubs outside Spain, Real Madrid secured Naasei's services decisively.

The center-back, who stands at 1.85 meters, can also operate effectively at right-back, providing the coaching staff with an additional defensive option. Naasei has represented Ghana in a friendly against Mexico and was part of the provisional squad for the 2026 World Cup.
