Medeama SC Prepare Lucrative Offer for Samba O’Neil as Kotoko Contract Nears Expiry

By Emmanuel Austin Baah On Apr 16, 2026

Medeama Sporting Club are reportedly ready to make a strong move for Samba O’Neil, with the Tarkwa-based club prepared to offer a signing-on fee of $30,000 and a monthly salary of $4,000 should the player agree to join them ahead of next season.

The proposed package underlines Medeama’s determination to strengthen their squad with proven quality as they look to remain competitive domestically and in continental football.

O’Neil, who is currently with Asante Kotoko Sporting Club, is approaching the end of his contract, with his current deal set to expire at the close of the season. That situation has naturally attracted interest, and Medeama appear ready to act quickly in an attempt to secure his signature.

Sources close to the negotiations suggest the offer is one of the most attractive currently on the table, placing the player in a strong position as he considers the next step in his career.

For Medeama, landing O’Neil would represent a significant statement of intent. The club have consistently shown ambition in recent years, both in the Ghana Premier League and on the continental stage, and the addition of an experienced performer could further enhance their prospects.

For the player, the decision is now a crucial one. Remaining with Kotoko, seeking opportunities elsewhere, or accepting Medeama’s lucrative proposal will all be factors under careful consideration in the coming weeks.

With the transfer window approaching and interest expected to grow, attention will now turn to whether Samba O’Neil decides to answer Medeama’s call.
