Real Madrid Signs Young Midfielder Latif Issman from UD Logroñés
Real Madrid has officially confirmed the signing of midfielder Latif Issman from UD Logroñés, a contract that will extend until 2030. The promising young Ghanaian will join Real Madrid Castilla, following the path of fellow player JJ Gabriel, as part of the club’s preparation for the 2027-28 season.
The agreement was reached yesterday after Real Madrid renewed its interest in the midfielder, having initially looked to secure Issman during the closing stages of the previous summer transfer window. Those earlier negotiations, however, did not yield a successful agreement.
Real Madrid Finalizes Issman’s Transfer Following Renewed Negotiations
Despite earlier setbacks, Real Madrid continued to pursue Issman’s signing, returning to discussions in recent weeks that ultimately led to a resolution. The successful relationship between the two clubs, forged through past transactions like Manex Rezola’s transfer to Real Madrid, played a significant role in facilitating this deal.
While the transfer fee is said to be modest, it could increase based on performance-related targets. Issman will remain with Logroñés for the remainder of the current season before making the move to Madrid.
Who is Latif Issman and What Can He Bring to Real Madrid?
Latif Issman has made significant strides at Logroñés under the guidance of manager Unai Mendia. His development as a player is characterized by his physical presence, defensive effort, and ability to cover extensive ground across the midfield. The right-footed midfielder, who stands at 1.80 meters tall, demonstrates a capacity to seize possession, press rivals, and contribute to attacking plays with his forward movements.
Issman’s greatest asset lies in his energy and dedication to performing demanding tasks within central areas. He tends to prefer straightforward passes and rapid combinations, though there are aspects of his technical skills that still require further development.
