Former Ghana midfielder Yussif Chibsah has disclosed that Asante Kotoko rejected a $50,000 deal for forward Sogne Yacouba.
Yussif Chibsah also confirmed the
Burkinabe attacker has joined his outfit, Club Consult Limited, a FIFA
intermediary that deals with the transfer of players.
"It’s true Songne Yacouba has join
my outfit; club consult limited but the player has his own local managers Mr
Jantuah and Alhaji who have the leeway to exercise authority on the player to
negotiate with Asante Kotoko,' he told Ashh FM.
"For us at Club Consult, our
mandate is to ensure the player lands a foreign contract," he added.
Chibsah denied accusation that he
forced Sogne Yacouba to reject a new deal from Asante Kotoko following long
negotiations with the club.
"It's not true I, Yusif Chibsah,
doesn't want Yacouba to renew his contract with Asante Kotoko,' he continued.
"I haven't stop Songne Yacouba
joining Asante Kotoko
"I have never interfered in the
Asante Kotoko and Yacouba contract renewal. It is not my mandate to do so.
"Any discussion about Yacouba's
contract and negotiation solely lies on his local managers who oversees such
matters. "
The ex-Asante Kotoko captain went on to
reveal that he had a deal for the Burkina Faso forward when he had three months
left on his contract but the club rejected the move.
"I got a deal worth $50,000 for
Asante Kotoko talisman Songne Yacouba but the management of Asante Kotoko said
the money was too meagre for a player of Yacouba's calibre when the player had
only 3 months left to end his contract with Asante Kotoko," said Chibsah.
