Ghana international Jerome Opoku is attracting growing interest from clubs across Europe following his impressive performances for the Black Stars at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The 27-year-old centre-back has emerged as one of Ghana’s standout players during the tournament, with his commanding displays in defence catching the attention of several clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.
Italian Serie A side Como have reportedly taken the first concrete step by opening preliminary talks with Opoku’s representatives as they explore defensive reinforcements for next season.
However, the Turkish-based defender is also attracting interest from Spain and England, with a La Liga club and a newly promoted Premier League side believed to be closely monitoring his situation.
Como are said to view Opoku as a potential alternative should moves for Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah or highly rated Spanish youngster Jacobo Ramon fail to materialise.
Opoku has been a key figure in Ghana’s solid defensive performances at the World Cup, helping the Black Stars reach the Round of 32 with composed and assured displays at the heart of the backline.
Although he missed Ghana’s final group-stage defeat to Croatia after suffering a minor injury, the defender is expected to return for the crucial knockout clash against Colombia.
The former Fulham youth player is currently under contract with Turkish Super Lig club Istanbul Basaksehir until 2027, but his performances on football’s biggest stage have significantly boosted his market value.
With the World Cup entering its knockout phase, interest in Opoku is expected to intensify as clubs continue to monitor one of Ghana’s standout performers ahead of the new season.
