Midfielder Justice Blay has declined a contract extension offer from Asante Kotoko, fueling speculation that the experienced midfielder could be on his way to an undisclosed foreign club.
Blay’s current contract is set to expire at the end of January 2025, leaving the Porcupine Warriors in a race against time to secure his services. Despite ongoing negotiations, the 32-year-old has shown reluctance to commit to a new deal, leaving Kotoko’s management with dwindling hope of retaining him.
The midfielder, known for his combative style of play, has been a pivotal figure for Kotoko this season, appearing in nine out of the 12 Ghana Premier League matches played so far. Blay’s performances have made him a fan favorite, with many touting him as a potential club legend.
However, the lure of a new environment and a final career challenge before retirement might be influencing his decision. For Kotoko, Blay’s departure would be a significant loss, not only on the pitch but also in terms of leadership and experience.
