Asante Kotoko are
set to lose striker Yacouba Sogne on a free transfer, Executive chairman Kwame
Kyei has revealed.
The 28
year old’s contract is due to expire next month, and talks over a new deal have
proven fruitless.
The
club are unwilling to meet his ‘excessive and high demands’ and the player is
understood to be exploring alternative options.
A host
of African clubs are keenly monitoring his situation and reportedly ready to
swoop for his signature.
“We met
him [Yacouba] and his representatives to discuss his contract extension but
their demands can’t be fulfilled by Kotoko,” Kyei said, as reported by Kickgh.
“Before
God and man, we can’t pay the $150,000 [€135,247] he has been demanding since
we started negotiations.
“Kotoko
can’t pay such amount of money for his contract renewal.
“His
contract will end soon and he will leave the club because he is not ready to
agree to our terms.”
