Ghana defender Joseph Aidoo has reached a gigantic deal to join Spanish top-flight side Celta Vigo after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt following fruitful negotiations with his parent club Genk on Thursday night, SportsworldGhana.com can report.
Genk agreed to let go their stalwart centre-back on Thursday after the club’s representative traveled to Spain to finalise the deal for the club after helping them clinch the Belgian Pro League title.
The amount involved in the transfer is said to be one of the most profitable deals for Genk.
The former Inter Allies defender joined Genk two seasons ago from the Swedish league for a fraction of the amount.
The center-back who is currently with the Ghana national team in Egypt, also agreed for the move to be sealed as his representatives also travelled for the meeting to seal his part of the deal.
Aidoo will travel to Spain at the end of the Africa Cup of Nations to seal the deal before he is unveiled to the fans of the club.
Reports say Celta Vigo, will cough out a mammoth $10 million to sign the Black Stars defender who helped Genk to win the Belgian league title last season.
Vigo who struggled to survive relegation for the most part of the 2018/2019 season is looking to revamp their squad for the upcoming season and have identified the defender as a good addition to their current squad.
The club finished 17th on the Spanish La Liga table after accumulating a meager 41 points in 38 games, an appalling statistics which narrowly saved them from relegation.
