Addo Baffour has completed a permanent move from Ghanaian side Bectero FC to Romanian club V. Arad, sealing his first transfer abroad as a professional footballer. The 19-year-old centre-forward joins the Romanian outfit on a deal that begins on 2026-02-11; details of the contract length and any possible end date have not been disclosed in the available data, nor has the transfer fee been made public.
The move takes the Accra-born striker out of his home country for the first time in his senior career, with V. Arad securing a young attacking option for their squad. The transfer is registered as a standard deal, and while the fee is officially listed as “?”, no market value has been assigned to Baffour at the time of the switch, indicating that he arrives in Romania as an essentially unpriced prospect rather than a headline financial asset.
Baffour joins V. Arad having developed at Bectero FC (also referenced as Sunyani Bectero FC), a club based in Ghana. There is no record in the data of him playing for any other senior team before this move, underlining how significant a step this is in his early career. At 19, he is classified primarily as a centre-forward, listed in the data as “Attack – Centre-Forward”, and is expected to operate through the middle of the attack rather than in wide positions.
The striker, who holds Ghanaian nationality only according to the information provided, leaves a domestic environment in which he had been playing in a league not specified in the data, to join V. Arad in Romania, also with the league listed as “N/A”. While the precise competitive level of his new club is not given, the transfer confirms that Baffour will now be based in Europe and competing within the Romanian football pyramid rather than continuing in Ghana.
There are no recorded statistics in the data set for recent matches, appearances, goals, or assists, and no match-by-match breakdown to indicate his form leading into the transfer. Likewise, there is no season context available such as number of games played for Bectero FC, his goal return, or specific standout performances. The absence of these metrics means his move is being registered more as a structural career change than one driven by documented statistical output.
From a structural perspective, this transfer also signals a contractual shift. With Baffour moving out of Bectero FC and into V. Arad, the possibility exists that any players not retained or replaced at his former club could become free agents, although the data does not specify any such cases or give details of expiring contracts around him. What is clear is that his own registration now belongs to the Romanian club from 2026-02-11 onward.
Given his age and positional profile, Baffour’s confirmed transfer to V. Arad represents a foundational moment rather than the culmination of a long European career. With no prior foreign clubs listed in his history and no market valuation attached, he arrives in Romania as a relatively unknown quantity outside Ghana. How he adapts to his new surroundings, the Romanian game, and a different football culture will shape the next phase of his development and determine whether this step becomes the launchpad for a broader European journey.
