Mudasiru Salifu Leaves Asante Kotoko : Ghana Premier League club Asante Kotoko has officially confirmed the departure of midfielder Mudasiru Salifu.

This follows that of Richard Boadu who is heading to Libyan side Al Ahly SC.

The club took to its official communication platforms to say thank you and wished the midfielder all the best.

The enterprising midfielder returned to the Porcupine Warriors after loan spells in Moldova and Saudi Arabia, where he featured for FC Sherrif Tiraspol and Al Batin.

According to Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, the midfielder will in the coming days sign for an unnamed club in Turkey.

Mudasiru’s imminent transfer to Turkey worth around $400,000.

The midfielder featured for Moldovan side Sheriff Tiraspol on loan before another stint with Al-Batin.

During his time at Sheriff, Salifu appeared 21 times in various competitions, including the Moldovan League, UEFA Champions League qualifications, UEFA Europa League playoffs, and Europa League group stages.

Salifu played 15 matches for Al-Batin in the second half of the season on loan from Kotoko. Unfortunately, Al Batin, which is managed by former Asante Kotoko coach Zdravko Logarusic, suffered relegation and finished at the bottom of the league.

Read the full statement from Kotoko : 

Central midfielder Mudasiru Salifu has left the club and has completed a permanent move to Al-Bukiryah FC of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia after an incredible four seasons with Kotoko.

The midfielder arrived at the club in 2019 and soon established himself as one of the best in the league, earning him a call-up to the Black Galaxies. His first goal came in our remarkable 3-1 away win over Dreams FC in the opening fixture of the 2021-2022 season.

Mudasiru’s contributions to the club ever since his arrival have been immeasurable both on and off the pitch, playing a vital role in our title-winning season. His high levels of enthusiasm and professionalism saw him been named vice captain for the season.

He also enjoyed two successful loan spells at Moldovan club FC Sheriff Tiraspol, helping them secure a group stage berth in the UEFA Europa League, where he faced off with five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. The midfielder, following the expiration of his loan deal, joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Batin in the Saudi Pro-League.

Muda’s terrific performances did not lack suitors who chased him for his service. However, after prolonged negotiations, Asante Kotoko SC reached an agreement for his permanent move to the Middle East.

Everyone at the club would like to express our utmost gratitude to Mudasiru for his contributions over the course of four years with the club.
