Ghanaian midfielder Kwasi Sibo is reportedly closing in on a move to Turkey, with Genclerbirligi emerging as the frontrunners for his signature.The 28-year-old is a free agent following his departure from Spanish side Real Oviedo and is considering his next move after attracting interest from several clubs across Europe and the Middle East.According to Footy-Africa, Sibo has reached a preliminary agreement with Genclerbirligi, who are now working to complete the remaining formalities of the transfer.The Ghanaian had attracted interest from Premier League side West Ham United, Championship club Hull City and French outfit Lorient, while Greek champions PAOK were also monitoring his situation.Sibo also had options from Saudi Arabia, with his family encouraging him to consider a move to the Gulf for greater long-term financial security.However, Genclerbirligi have moved ahead of the competition, with Sibo reportedly favouring a move to the Turkish Super Lig.Sibo spent the last two seasons at Real Oviedo, helping the club secure promotion to LaLiga before featuring in the Spanish top flight during the 2025/26 season.Oviedo struggled after their promotion and were eventually relegated, but the setback did not affect Sibo’s international prospects.The midfielder was named in Ghana’s squad for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and featured during the tournament, playing against England, Colombia, Croatia and Panama.His performances at club and international level have maintained his appeal, with his ball-winning ability, positional discipline and strength in protecting the back four making him an attractive option for clubs seeking experience in midfield.If the remaining formalities are completed, Sibo will begin a new chapter in Turkey with Genclerbirligi, who are looking to add the experienced Ghanaian midfielder to their squad.
