According to a report by Madrid Universal on Friday November 13, 2026, Real Madrid have reached an agreement to sign Ghanaian youngster Latif Issman from UD Logroñés, with Fabrizio Romano confirming that the midfielder will put pen to paper on a contract running until 2030.

Issman is expected to join Real Madrid Castilla in the summer of 2027, making him the club’s first signing ahead of the 2027-28 campaign. The agreement was reportedly completed after Madrid renewed their efforts to secure his services.

The Spanish giants first considered signing the midfielder towards the end of the previous summer transfer window, but negotiations with Logroñés failed to produce an agreement. However, Madrid maintained their interest and reopened discussions in recent weeks, eventually reaching a breakthrough.

The existing relationship between the two clubs reportedly played an important role in completing the transfer. They had previously negotiated the move of Manex Rezola to Real Madrid, creating a positive foundation for further business.

Although Issman’s transfer fee is understood to be relatively low, performance-related bonuses could increase the overall cost. The youngster will remain with Logroñés until the current season concludes before completing his move to the Spanish capital.

Issman has established himself as an important member of Logroñés under manager Unai Mendia. His development has been supported by his physical qualities, defensive dedication and impressive energy across midfield.

The right-footed midfielder stands at 1.80 metres and is comfortable winning possession, pressing opponents and making forward runs to support attacking situations. His willingness to cover ground and contribute defensively is considered one of his strongest qualities.

Issman generally prefers straightforward passing and quick combinations rather than unnecessarily complicated play. However, despite his promising attributes, certain technical areas of his game still require improvement as he continues developing.

Real Madrid will therefore have an opportunity to monitor his progress closely after his arrival, with the young Ghanaian expected to continue his development within the club’s reserve-team structure.
