Saudi Pro League outfit Damac FC have intensified their efforts to secure the signature of Accra Hearts of Oak goalkeeper Benjamin Asare, with discussions between the two clubs currently ongoing.
The Saudi side’s interest in the highly-rated Ghanaian shot-stopper is not new, having initially submitted an offer for the goalkeeper last year. Although a move failed to materialize at the time, Damac FC have now renewed their pursuit and returned with an improved proposal in a bid to finally land their long-term target.
Sources close to the negotiations indicate that the Saudi club remains keen on adding Asare to their squad and views him as a goalkeeper capable of strengthening their options ahead of the new season. The improved offer is seen as a clear indication of Damac’s determination to complete the transfer after monitoring the player’s progress over an extended period.
Benjamin Asare has emerged as one of the most consistent goalkeepers in Ghanaian football in recent years. His impressive reflexes, commanding presence in the penalty area, excellent shot-stopping ability, and leadership qualities have made him a key figure for Hearts of Oak and one of the most admired goalkeepers in the Ghana Premier League.
The goalkeeper’s stock has continued to rise following a series of outstanding performances for both club and country. His displays have attracted attention from scouts and clubs beyond Ghana, with Damac FC now leading the race for his signature.
For Hearts of Oak, the potential departure of Asare would represent the loss of one of their most important players. The goalkeeper has been instrumental in several crucial matches for the Phobians, producing match-winning saves and providing stability at the back during challenging periods.
However, a move to the Saudi Pro League would present a significant opportunity for the player to further his career on a bigger stage while benefiting from the growing investment and competitiveness of Saudi Arabian football. The league has increasingly become an attractive destination for players from across the globe, with clubs strengthening their squads through ambitious recruitment drives.
Negotiations between Hearts of Oak and Damac FC are understood to be progressing, although no final agreement has yet been reached. Both clubs are reportedly working to find common ground on the financial terms of the transfer, while other details of the potential deal are also being discussed.
The situation is being closely monitored by Hearts supporters, many of whom recognize Asare’s importance to the team but also appreciate the opportunity such a move could provide for the goalkeeper’s professional development.
Should the transfer eventually be completed, it would mark another significant milestone in Benjamin Asare’s career and further highlight the quality of talent being produced in the Ghana Premier League. It would also reinforce the growing reputation of Ghanaian players in international markets.
For now, discussions remain ongoing, with Damac FC maintaining strong interest in the Hearts of Oak goalkeeper. As negotiations continue, all eyes will be on both clubs to see whether an agreement can be reached that paves the way for Benjamin Asare to begin a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League.
