Daniel Opare: Leaving Real Madrid Was The ‘Wisest’ Decision Of My Career

Standard Liege defender Daniel Opare believes that leaving Spanish giants Real Madrid last summer was the best decision he has ever made.

The 21-year-old departed the Blancos after spending two years in the youth team. With prospects of breaking into the first team looking slim, the Ghana international signed a three-year contract with Liege.

Opare is happy with his move to Belgium and, according to Ghanasoccernet.com, enthuses: “I will say my move from Real Madrid is the wisest decision I have taken in my career and I’m happy I did that.

“It has given me another opportunity to showcase my talent and what I can do. It has also given me a new lease on life and I’m enjoying my stay here.”

The right-back made his second appearance for the Ghana national team on Tuesday evening when he came on a second-half substitute against England in a friendly international at Wembley. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.
