Mahanaim FC has announced the transfer of two of its standout players to FK Sarajevo, a prestigious club with a rich history in Bosnian football, having won the Premier League title five times.
Versatile 18-year-old Nigerian midfielder Marcus Haruna, alongside Ivorian midfield sensation Yahi Guy Mohammed, 18, made the direct switch at the insistence of the Bosnian club.
DURATION
The players have signed 3-year contracts, as they are expected to help FK Sarajevo achieve their objectives in the Bosnian League and other competitions.
HISTORY
This marks a historic turn for Mahanaim FC, being the first time the club will transfer more than one player to the same club at a time.
Club CEO, Mr. Simon Alfred, describes the double transfer as a sign of trust, placed in the Mahanaim FC talent structure, by the football community.
“These transfers excite us as a club, ensuring that we stay true to our goals and objectives. We’re happy the boys have taken the next steps after excelling in the fundamental values passed to them. We are glad to have achieved this little piece of history with a great club like FK Sarajevo,” said Simon Alfred.
APPRECIATION
“We would like to thank FK Sarajevo for the trust and patience they displayed with us while finalising these transfers. We are looking forward to a greater partnership with them and we wish them all the best in their objectives.
“These kids (Marcus Haruna and Yahi Guy Mohammed) distinguished themselves as brilliant players on the pitch and responsible young individuals off the pitch. Everyone at the club wishes them continued success in their professional career,” Simon disclosed.
VERSATILITY
Marcus, a utility player, can play in the midfield, defence, or anywhere the coach wants him to operate. Similarly, Yahi, also known as ‘Doudou’ by his mates, can play as a no. 6, no. 8 or no. 10. It is one of Mahanaim FC’s philosophies to develop players with the ability to play in multiple positions.
