Real wanted me, I almost signed for City

Somewhere in 2008, Maccabi Haifa signed one of the rising talents of the young Ghana national team, Aussie Ransford. Carmel was a partner in the championship with the Greens, but in practice did not get too much credit in the senior team with only 11 appearances and a single goal and mostly sent for questions.

Ransford Who was loaned to Twente and Granada B. found it difficult to find stability and from there migrated to small groups mainly in Africa. The 30-year-old former striker retired from football earlier this week after being without a team for two years, and he was interviewed in his homeland and told how close he was to Manchester City and even won his claim of interest from Real Madrid.

The striker, who as mentioned starred in the youth teams of Ghana and won the African Championship with his friends in 2009, claimed: “I had the opportunity to train with City and I did it for three months, they wanted to sign me but because I did not get a work permit I could not sign there. I went to Manchester with the brothers Rafael and Fabio de Silva, Alex Ferguson and United got a work permit for them but Lee City did not do that “.

He added: “After three months, I had to move to Israel and signed with Maccabi Haifa. “Even before that, in 2007 after the World Cup until the age of 17, there were many teams that were interested in me, even Real Madrid wanted it, but my team rejected the offer.”
