Emmanuel Yeboa missed the transfer to Slavia Prague.

Although it appeared that everything was settled and the player only needed to undergo a medical, the Czech club announced that a medical problem with Yeboa’s meniscus prevented the transfer from being completed.

In response, CFR Cluj denied that the player would be in trouble and claimed that Slavia used that argument to loan him out for a year before a final purchase.

“PRESS RELEASE

In recent days, our club has been negotiating the transfer of Emmanuel Yeboa to Slavia Prague. This step will not materialize, and the footballer will continue working in Gruy. After this episode, our club would like to make some clarifications.

Even if the transfer amount remained at the mutually agreed value, to which percentages from a possible future transfer were added, “Slavia” wanted to change the terms of the transfer, referring to the health condition found in the meniscus. In short, the Czech club expressed a desire to lease our player for a year, keeping the first option of a direct buyout.

Of course, this option was not approved by the management of our club, especially after consultations with specialist doctors, with whom the CFR has been cooperating for years, and who, having studied the medical documentation in detail, did not agree with the opinion of the club doctors. Czech club. Since the footballer has had absolutely no health problems in the last year, the position of our specialists is not without grounds, especially since Yeboa attended absolutely all training sessions of our team and played official matches out of three in three days, putting in a lot of effort. .

On the other hand, it was an easy decision for Yeboa to stay at CFR as he has proven to be an important player for our team both domestically and in the Conference League and will certainly help us achieve our goals this season . He remains a player to be followed by the big clubs, the coach of the Ghana national team and we are convinced that he will reach a big club in the future.

In conclusion, I would like to note that regardless of the outcome of these negotiations, we still respect Slavia Prague and appreciate the interest of the Czechs in our player.

Management of the CFR 1907 Cluj club, January 5, 2023,” the Romanian champion announced on the official website.
