A football club owned by Minority Leader of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has been reported to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for failing to adhere to an agreement signed with Tamale Utrecht Football Academy in the transfer of Black Stars forward, Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.
The club, Steadfast FC, which competes in Ghana’s Division One League in December 2018, reached an agreement with Tamale Utrecht to pay 20% onward transfer fees if Issahaku secures a deal locally or abroad per documents available to Joy Sports.
The agreement was signed by Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Abubakari Abdul-Daem.
However, following the transfer of the 18-year-old to Portuguese side, Sporting Lisbon, for a club record transfer fee of €1.2 million, Steadfast has paid €110,000 instead of the percentage which amounts to €204,000 agreed four years ago despite Sporting Lisbon paying the full amount to the club.
Efforts to have Steadfast pay the outstanding €94,000 has proved futile, forcing Utrecht to report the matter to the football governing body.
