Medeama SC have reached an agreement with Asante Kotoko for the transfer of midfielder Justice Blay.

Head of Communications for Medeama SC Patrick Akoto in an interview with Wontumi FM on Monday, October 11 said the "two clubs have reached an agreement in principle."

According to him, all that is left is the payment plan and parties involved to append their signatures for the release of Justice Blay to join the Porcupines.

Blay spent a season on loan at Kotoko from Medeama but could not sign a permanent deal with the club after the Mauve and Yellows rejected an offer from the Reds.

28-year-old is currently nursing an injury spent the 2020/21 season at Medeama and is left with 3 months on his contract.

Nana Yaw Amponsah last year December revealed why Asante Kotoko opted not to sign Medeama midfielder Justice Blay.

According to the Nana Yaw Amponsah, the Porcupines were told Blay would cost 300,000 cedis which they believed was too high.  

"Medeama quoted 300,000 cedis and a future transfer fee of 40% on Justice Blay but we were also quoting 200,000 cedis and 40% onward but Moses Parker wasn't ready - Nana Yaw Amponsah told Oyerepa FM.

It should be noted that Kotoko can still sign Blay this season after the GFA extended the transfer window deadline. The window which was supposed to be shut on October 9 has been extended to October 23.

This comes on the back of the GFA embarking on a FIFA Connect Registration System and TMS pilot hence the reason for the extension.

The 2021-22 Ghana Premier League is set to start on October 29.
