Reports: Asante Kotoko captain Abdul Ganiyu asks for contract termination

Asante Kotoko captain, Ismail Abdul Ganiyu has been left out of the Kotoko team that travelled to Sudan for their pre-season game with AL-Hilal.

The defender, according to Kessben Sports, apparently asked for his contract to be terminated by the club despite having another year to spare.

Sources within the club say Ganiyu who extended his contract for Kotoko for 2 years in last September wrote to the club for a move away.

Snippets information gathered indicates Ganiyu’s decision was informed by his quest to see an increment in his wage.

Kotoko were initially scheduled to travel to Turkey for their pre-season campaign but due to challenges in Visa acquisition, the club had to cancel the European training tour.

The Ghanaian champions arrived in Khartoum, Sudan on the early hours of today to continue with their preseason and will face Al Hilal Omdurman to test their strength heading into the new season.
