The 18-year-old Ghanaian midfielder saw his potential spotted by European heavyweights, but ultimately ended up accepting a German offer
Real Madrid and Manchester United were eager to buy into Kelvin Ofori’s potential before he accepted an offer to link up with Fortuna Dusseldorf, says the Bundesliga club’s head of sports Lutz Pfannenstiel.
The German side reached an agreement with the highly-rated 18-year-old midfielder in the summer of 2019 after his ability had been noted within the famed Right to Dream Academy in Ghana.
It quickly became apparent that a move to Europe beckoned for the youngster, with a scramble sparked for his signature.
