Ghanaian left-back David Oduro

Ghanaian left-back David Oduro has left FC Barcelona to join French Ligue 2 side FC Annecy on a two-year contract running until June 2028.

Annecy officially announced the signing on Saturday, August 22, 2026, confirming that the 20-year-old defender had joined from Barcelona.

“FC Annecy is pleased to announce the arrival of David Oduro. The 20-year-old Ghanaian left-back joins the Reds from FC Barcelona and has signed a contract with FCA until June 2028. A new defender who comes to strengthen the Annecy squad in the person of David Oduro,” the official statement from FC Annecy said.

Oduro's signing brings an end to his two-year spell with Barcelona, where he developed with the club's reserve side, Barça Atlètic, after joining from Ghana Premier League side Accra Lions in 2024.

Accra Lions to Barcelona

Oduro was born in Accra and developed through the Accra Lions system before making his first-team debut during the 2022/23 season. He made 50 appearances and scored once in the Ghana Premier League before moving to Spain.

Barcelona announced his signing in August 2024 on a three-year contract until June 2027. He became the first Ghanaian player to sign for Barcelona directly from a Ghanaian club.

The move to Spain gave Oduro the opportunity to continue his development with Barça Atlètic, Barcelona's reserve team.

Oduro gradually became more involved with the reserve side during his time in Spain. Oduro made 23 appearances, scoring once and providing one assist, during the 2025/26 season with Barcelona's reserve team.

Barcelona's player profile describes him as a quick attacking left-back who combines well with teammates, reads the game well and is comfortable moving forward to support attacks.
