Asante Kotoko has officially ended its contract with forward Abdul Fatawu Safiu due to health-related reasons.
The termination comes after the club conducted a pre-competition medical assessment, as mandated by the Ghana Football Association (GFA), and identified underlying health issues during further tests.
The club entered into an employment agreement with Safiu three weeks ago, meeting registration deadlines set by the GFA.
However, subsequent medical evaluations by the club's medical team revealed conditions that could potentially sideline the player for an extended period.
In light of this information, Asante Kotoko, after considering the welfare of both the club and the player, concluded that continuing the employment contract would not be in the best interest of either party.
The specific details of Safiu's medical condition have been communicated to the player.
Additionally, the GFA has rejected Fatawu's registration, further influencing the club's decision to terminate the relationship.
Asante Kotoko wishes Abdul Fatawu Safiu the best for the future, emphasizing that he remains part of the club family and is welcome to contribute in any capacity in the future.
