After an extraordinary four seasons with Asante Kotoko, central midfielder Mudasiru Salifu has finalised a permanent move to Al-Bukiryah FC of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The midfielder joined the club in 2019 and quickly established himself as one of the league’s finest, gaining a call-up to the Black Galaxies. His first goal came in our incredible 3-1 away triumph over Dreams FC in the season opener in 2021-2022.
“Mudasiru’s services to the club have been immense, both on and off the pitch, and he was instrumental in our title-winning season. Because of his high levels of excitement and professionalism, he was elected vice-captain for the season,” a club statement reads.
He also had two successful loan periods with Moldovan team FC Sheriff Tiraspol, where he helped them clinch a UEFA Europa League group stage place, when he squared up against five-time Ballon d’Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. Following the expiration of his loan, the midfielder joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Batin in the Saudi Pro-League.
Muda’s outstanding accomplishments drew a slew of suitors vying for his services. However, following lengthy talks, Asante Kotoko SC agreed to relocate permanently to the Middle East.
