Agyemang Badu open to Asante Kotoko return if favourable offer arises

Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has expressed his willingness to rejoin his former club, Asante Kotoko if a favourable offer is presented to him.

Agyemang Badu, 32, represented Kotoko between 2008 and 2009 on loan from Berekum Arsenal, and is open to returning to the club ahead of the upcoming season.

The midfielder is currently a free agent, having parted ways with Great Olympics. He left the club, even before the contract was due to expire.

He said on Akoma FM, “My contract with Great Olympics has ended, and I’m available for any team that meets my demands. Regarding rejoining Kotoko, I would ask the fans to be patient and wait for Manhyia to complete the administrative processes. If Kotoko presents an offer that I find favourable, I will sign and rejoin them.”

Kotoko, who failed to defend their Ghana Premier League title, are looking to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season. However, the club must first address their administrative issues and appoint a new coach before finalising any player signings.

Agyemang Badu retired from international football in 2021, focusing on club football. As a member of the Black Satellites team, Badu played a crucial role in winning the U-20 African Championship and scoring the decisive penalty kick in the U-20 World Cup final against Brazil, securing Ghana and Africa’s first and only title in the tournament.

Agyemang Badu made 78 appearances for the senior national team, Black Stars, scoring 11 goals.

He returned to Ghana in 2022, after over a decade playing abroad, representing the likes of Udinese, Bursaspor, Verona, Verona and Chinese club Qingdao.
