Nsoatreman reject Maxwell Konadu’s resignation; demands $60,000 from South African club

The FA Cup winners are demanding a hefty transfer fee from the South African club before they will allow Maxwell Konadu to join them

Nsoatreman FC bankroller Ignatius Baffour Awuah has rejected the resignation request by head coach Maxwell Konadu, AshesGyamera.com can exclusively reveal.

Konadu, who signed a two-year deal with the reigning FA Cup winners, tendered in his resignation after he was contacted by a South African Premier Soccer League side.

However, despite Leopards edging closer to securing Konadu for the upcoming season as their new head coach, negotiations seem to have hit a halt at the moment.

Nsoatreman owner Baffour Awuah is proving to be a hurdle. Although, the South African club reached a verbal agreement with Konadu and the latter was also assured by some top decision makers at Nsoatreman of their support, there has been an interesting twist of events.

Baffour Awuah has insisted that Black Leopards need to pay a compensation of $60,000 to have the services of Konadu since he has a one-year contract running with his club but the South African club are yet to make a breakthrough in talks.

Amid all the plea from the camp of the coach, Nsoatreman are reportedly hesitant and the South African club are also contemplating to meet what they see as a high fee, but negotiations between the two clubs continue.

AshesGyamera.com’s source have confirmed that Nsoatreman are holding firm on their financial demands as they believe any amount generated from this deal could help preparations for their maiden participation in next season’s CAF Confederation Cup.

Our sources further confirmed that Konadu and his counsel were to travel to South Africa on Tuesday but that arrangements have been put on hold at the moment, barring any last minute change.

Former Hearts of Oak coach Samuel Boadu who currently works with Berekum Chelsea has been identified as the successor to Konadu at Nsoatreman.

SCANDAL: RTU present impersonated players against Dreams FC in Ghana Premier League

The relegated Premier League outfit shocked the entire football world by presenting players who were not registered for their penultimate game in Ghana’s top-flight

Real Tamale United player Lord Hilary Adabo has denied reports that he took part of the 8-1 annihilating scoreline suffered by his club against Dreams FC in Ghana Premier League at Dawu on Wednesday.

Agyenim Boateng Mensah scored FIVE goals on the day as Dreams moved away from the relegation scare with only a game left to end the season.

However, according to the Adabo, although he has been listed as a goalscorer in the game by the fourth minute, he did not even travel with the team and was in Tamale while the match was ongoing.

He insisted that all registered players of RTU were in Tamale, therefore he doesn’t know which players represented the team in Dawu.

“I am not the player who scored the goal for RTU against Dreams FC today. I am currently in Tamale and I didn’t play any game today,” Lord Hilary Adabo on Promise Radio.

“I’ve seen on social media that I scored a goal but all I can say is that there’s only one Adabo in RTU and I’m in Tamale.

“All registered players of the club that I know we’re in Tamale so I don’t know where they brought those players who represented the club in Dawu. All I can say is that I was not part of the game,” he added.

According to AshesGyamera’s sources, RTU top hierarchy used players from lower division side Galaxy FC to impersonate their players.

Ghana FA top hierarchy is believed to have began investigations into the uncanny behaviour of Real Tamale United and the club could be demoted to third-tier league should they be found guilty.
