REVEALED: Kotoko table GH¢100k offer for Medeama’s Richard Boadu

Asante Kotoko have agreed a deal to sign talented midfielder Richard Boadu from Medeama SC for an amount of GH¢100,000 ($16,583).

The sealed negotiations between the two Ghana Premier League giants include the potential for a further GH¢20,000 in add-ons to be paid by the buying club.

This extra amount depends on the player bagging 20 Premier League appearances and making 10 goals contributions only in his first season.

Kotoko will pay the guaranteed GH¢100,000 in two instalments – 60% first in mid-September and the remaining 40% at the end of January 2022.

Medeama SC will also be entitled to 30% of the net transfer fees of any future Boadu sale by Kotoko.

After spending four years with the Tarkwa-based club, Boadu made it clear it was time to seek a new challenge.

“I’ve engaged Moses Parker [owner of Medeama SC] on my future and I believe he understands my decision to seek a new challenge elsewhere after four years,” the player revealed in an interview in early August.

The 23-year-old giant central midfielder made 24 league appearances for Medeama in the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League with his only goal of the campaign coming in a 2-1 away win over Kotoko at Len Clay Stadium.

Should the Richard Boadu transfer be officially sealed, Asante Kotoko would be securing a player they first pursued in September last year.

Kotoko could further raid Medeama for two more players – midfielder and former loanee Justice Blay and right-back Samuel Appiah. Both players were also on the club’s radar last year.
