“In light of this, an emergency meeting was convened on Sunday, August 4, 2024, where the Interim Management Committee (IMC) agreed to part ways with the player in the best interest of both parties. This decision was made to maintain the cohesion the team is building for the new season.” Kotoko said.
Yussif Mohammed Nurudeen earliar disclosed that has begun the process to seek for a transfer from authorities through the Ministry of Health (MoH) to get transfer to Kumasi and join his club.
“You know I am a professional nurse, playing in Kumasi and working in Tamale is very difficult for me. I’m still at home, working around to see how I can be transferred to Kumasi.” He reportedly said.
