The Yellow and Mauves are actively searching the transfer market for quality players to strengthen their squad for the 2023/24 season where they will be participating in the CAF Champions League, and Salifu Ibrahim has emerged as a key target.
While Medeama has not yet submitted an official offer to Hearts of Oak, they have engaged in discussions with the player’s representative, Mr. Asiedu Benedict.
However, Salifu Ibrahim and his representative have declined Medeama’s approach and have expressed their respect for Hearts of Oak. They have encouraged Medeama to hold direct talks with the Phobians regarding the midfielder’s potential transfer.

He joined the Phobians in February 2021 on a three-and-a-half-year deal from Techiman Eleven Wonders and played a crucial role in the team’s success, helping them secure their first league trophy in eleven years and clinching the FA Cup.
