Asante Kotoko negotiations with free-agent Umar Bashiru goes quiet

Talks between Asante Kotoko and Umar Bashiru have gone quiet after both parties continue to struggle to reach an agreement for the services of the player on a free transfer.



Umar Bashiru is currently a free-agent player after ending his stay at Karela United where he rejuvenated his career last season in the Ghana Premier League.

Asante Kotoko opened talks with the player weeks ago, a close source to the player’s camp confirmed to Sahara Football.

However, the player is yet to reach an agreement with the Kumasi-based club where he played a few years ago.

Sahara Football understands Umar Bashiru is currently considering several offers including offers from Asante Kotoko rivals Hearts of Oak, but the player will prioritize a move outside the country at the moment.

Asante Kotoko are currently undergoing their pre-season in Accra and could be traveling to Turkey for the second phase of their pre-season.
