Revealed: Nathaniel Asamoah Signing-On Fee

Nathaniel Asamoah might have left the offices of Asante Kotoko on Wednesday afternoon disappointed, but he had the broadest smile late in the evening.

The former Kotoko striker flew to Kumasi on Wednesday to hold final talks with the hierarchy of the Porcupine Warriors, but a two-hour meeting ended with both sides speaking different language.

Kotoko were ready to pay him half of his demand for a month, and Nathaniel had to leave without signing a contract.

Few minutes after he left the Secretariat of Kotoko to return to Accra, a juicy deal fell his way and he grabed it with both.

Aduana offered him GH¢ 80,000.00 as signing-on fee, and he moved to Dormaa to finalie the deal. They also agreed to meet his demand of GH¢ 2,000 a month.
