Martins calls Bakaboo

It’s been a rumor for a long time, but now it’s a fact. Free to negotiate the next phase of his career, Cedric Bakabou does so after proving his skill in the Greek League as well, and emerging as top scorer with Olympiacos.

Thus, he further strengthened his negotiating power and finding a profitable new contract. So the rumors about the approach of a team from the Arabian Peninsula were not only confirmed, but embodied in a very recent acquaintance with the “reds and whites”, their coach until last year, Pedro Martins.

And it was the Portuguese coach’s team, the Qatari Al-Gharafa, who made a great show for the Congolese striker.

An offer that obviously covers his financial requirements as it exceeds 2.5 million euros annually, while at the same time meeting another criterion that Bakabu has set in his discussions with Olympiacos, which is the time period, with the Qatari club starting the discussion. On the table is a minimum of two years of cooperation.

Needless to say, the financial part of offering room for the 32-year-old striker is unbeatable not just by Olympiacos, but by any European team and it remains to be seen if he will be the main factor in the decision of this year’s tournament top scorer.
