Bechem United has revealed that striker Hafiz Konkoni has been transferred to Tanzanian club Young Africans for $100,000.
The move was completed on Saturday, with Konkoni, who received his first Black Stars call-up in June, beginning a new chapter in his career in Tanzania.
Young Africans were particularly captivated to Konkoni’s goal-scoring ability, as seen by his remarkable record of 15 goals in the previous Ghana Premier League season, which helped Bechem United finish in the top four.
During an interview with Akoma 87.9 FM, Emmanuel Atuahene, the Public Relations Officer of Bechem United, explained the transfer procedure, saying, “Hafiz Konkoni was initially set to join Al Hilal of Sudan, but due to complications in the personal terms, he returned to Ghana.”
After Young Africans secured the sale at the required price, other interested firms, including Hearts of Oak, were unable to compete. “I can confirm that Hafiz was sold for $100,000 with a 20% onward transfer for Bechem,” Atuahene said. Hearts couldn’t have bought Hafiz because their bid was just 10% of what Yanga gave for him.”
