Mercato: Abdul Aziz Issah returns to FC Barcelona Atlètic

FC Barcelona Atlètic has officially announced the significant return of Ghanaian attacker Abdul Aziz Issah, securing his services on a loan deal from Dreams FC. The highly anticipated move, which sees the prodigious talent commit to the Blaugrana's reserve side until 2026, marks a compelling 'second chance' for Issah at the Catalan institution. His medical examination was successfully completed on Monday, paving the way for his immediate integration into Rafa Márquez’s squad. This strategic acquisition underscores Barça Atlètic's commitment to bolstering its attacking options with promising international talent, while also offering Issah a renewed pathway to elite European football.

For Issah, this isn't merely a new chapter but a return to familiar grounds, albeit with a fresh perspective and heightened expectations. Sources close to the player suggest that Issah had previously spent time within Barcelona's youth setup during his formative years, participating in trials and training sessions that offered a glimpse of his potential. However, a permanent move at that juncture did not materialise, leading him back to his native Ghana where he meticulously honed his craft with Dreams FC. His subsequent performances in the Ghana Premier League and on the continental stage, particularly during Dreams FC's impressive run in the CAF Confederation Cup, have evidently caught the eye of Barcelona's scouting network once more. His development into a more mature, versatile, and impactful forward has convinced the club that now is the opportune moment to bring him back into the fold, ready for the rigours of Spanish football.
