Retired Ghanaian footballer Baffour Gyan has suggested that Mohammed Kudus seek advice from his inner circle concerning the reported lucrative offer from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.
In an interview with the media , Baffour Gyan encouraged the West Ham star to discuss the offer with his family before making a decision.
Gyan emphasized that although Kudus is a widely celebrated football star in Ghana, his choices significantly impact his family, making it essential for him to include them in such important decisions.
“He is a Ghanaian, and we all love him, but there are some decisions that you take with your family, and this is one of them. It’s a decision he has to make with his family,” he said.
Baffour Gyan revealed that he was instrumental in persuading his brother, Asamoah Gyan, to accept an offer from the Chinese club Shanghai SPG.
After a successful spell in the UAE, Asamoah Gyan signed a two-year contract in 2015, earning £225,000 per week.
Baffour Gyan acknowledged being one of the people who urged Gyan to accept the deal, stating on Wontumi FM, “I was part of those who pushed him to China.”
Asamoah Gyan admitted it was a difficult move but, after consulting with his family, was convinced it was the right step.
“It was a difficult decision for me, but I spoke to everyone around me, and we decided it was the best move for me. Luckily, it turned out well for me, and we have managed to establish companies that are employing Ghanaians,” he said.
According to ESPN, Al-Ittihad is interested in signing the Ghanaian player for $150 million.
The Saudi Pro League team is also offering a weekly salary of $300,000. Additional benefits for the 23-year-old include business class travel for his family, free accommodation, and cars.
