In an unexpected turn of events, Saudi Pro League team Al Ittihad has emerged as a surprising contender to secure the services of Ghanaian and Ajax midfielder, Mohammed Kudus.
Initially, West Ham made an official bid of €41 million, accompanied by a potential €3 million in add-ons. This proposed agreement also features a notable 10% sell-on clause, which has been accepted by Ajax.
Personal terms have been meticulously negotiated with the 23-year-old Ghanaian player. This development paves the way for a potential contract spanning five years, with the possibility of an additional sixth year. The imminent signing of the contract is anticipated this week.
However, an unforeseen entry from Al Ittihad has recently surfaced, as reported by Topskills Sports UK. It remains uncertain whether this unexpected offer will prompt a change of heart in Kudus’ considerations.
Over the past three years since his move from Danish side Nordsjaelland, Kudus has undoubtedly made his mark at Ajax. Across 63 Eredivisie appearances, he has impressively netted 16 goals.
His impact extends to the international stage, with seven goals recorded in 24 matches for Ghana, including a significant contribution of two goals during the recent World Cup held in Qatar.
