Kennedy Boateng: Togo-Ghana Defender Linked with Move to Al-Fateh in Saudi Pro League Switch

Togo-Ghana centre-back Kennedy Boateng, currently without a club, is being linked with a move to Saudi Pro League side Al-Fateh as the 29-year-old weighs up his next step. The defender, who is available as a free agent, is understood to be on the radar of the Saudi outfit as they look to reinforce their options at the heart of defence ahead of the new campaign.

Boateng’s availability on a free transfer is thought to be a key factor in Al-Fateh’s interest, with the player currently valued in the region of €1.2 million. A move would give the Saudi club an experienced central defender without the need for a transfer fee, freeing up resources elsewhere in their squad planning.

The Togo international, who also holds Ghanaian nationality, has reached an important stage of his career at 29, with this next contract likely to be one of the most significant of his professional journey. His status as a free agent offers him flexibility over both destination and terms, while also making him an attractive proposition for clubs seeking to strengthen late in the window.

Al-Fateh are one of several Saudi Pro League clubs exploring additions in central defence, and Boateng’s name has emerged as a serious option as they scour the market for experience and depth. With no agreement yet in place, Boateng continues to assess his options while training independently following his departure from his previous club.
