Negotiations hit deadlock as Medeama SC all but pull plugs on Yacouba pursuit

Medeama SC have ended their pursuit of Sogne Yacouba as negotiations hit a deadlock, because of quantum of amount demanded by the player, FMiG has revealed.

The club made a massive breakthrough in talks yesterday and the way was paved for the concluding parts of negotiations before the player signed a contract.

However, the last minute outrageous demands of Sogne Yacouba has hindered the process, scuppered entirely the chances of the deal happening eventually.

At the moment it’s not likely a deal will be reached as expected earlier.

Reports indicate representatives of Yacouba had reached an agreement with Medeama.

They informed Medeama hierarchy that the player is close to joining Saudi Arabia side but they would want Medeama to acquire his services.

After further deliberations, Medeama SC agreed to this and the green light was given for further talks. These discussions took place just after Medeama SC had beaten Legon Cities in Accra in the Ghana Premier League.

Its believed a figure was agreed between Medeama SC and the player’s representatives.

FMiG’s credible source tells that Yacouba is demanding a $100,000 signing-on fee for a one year contract, something Medeama deems as very expensive and injudicious on their part to agree.

Sogne Yacouba is a free agent after running down his contract at Asante Kotoko.
