Maxwell Baakoh, a soccer player from Ghana, has achieved something big in his career. He moved to MC Oran, a team in Algeria, from USM Khenchela.
This switch made headlines because it set a new record – they paid 300,000 euros for him.
Before joining MC Oran, Baakoh played for Asante Kotoko SC. But his outstanding skills in the Algerian Ligue 1 during the 2022/2023 season caught the attention of many. In just 11 games, the 28-year-old scored four goals.
Now, with his move to MC Oran, Baakoh is going to be one of the highest-paid players in Algeria. He will earn 20,000 euros every month. What makes him valuable is his ability to play different positions like second striker, central attacking midfielder, and winger. MC Oran hopes he can help them climb out of the relegation zone in the second half of the league.
MC Oran is currently struggling with 9 points in 14 matches. Baakoh's arrival is seen as a positive change, bringing hope and adding both skill and experience to the team. His journey in football has taken him to various places, including playing for Ceramica Cleopatra in the Egyptian Premier League and Sahab Club in Jordan after leaving Asante Kotoko.
