Opare: Real Madrid deal best day of my life

Ghana U17 fullback Daniel Opare has completed his move to Real Madrid, penning a four-year contract this week.

Snapped up from Ghana's Ashanti Gold, Opare declared: "The negotiations between my club, Ashanti Gold, and Real Madrid developed without too many problems, but even so I had days of great nervousness."

"So, when I received the good news, my family had a special celebration, we all met, my parents and my five brothers. My mother produced a special menu, with Tololo, that I like much, to celebrate the greatest day of my life."

"It was an unforgettable day for me and all my family."

"Ever since I can remember, I've always dreamed about playing someday for Real Madrid. At 11 years of age, I enrolled at the Academy of Ajax, in Kumasi, but peculiarly, instead of wishing to sign for Ajax, always I dreamed about doing so with Real Madrid."

"I am going to fight from the first moment to demonstrate that Real Madrid has not been mistaken when betting on by me. I will fight and show what I am worth."
