UAE side Dubai City FC have officially lodged a $100,000 offer for Asante Kotoko centre-back Samba O’Neil, signalling serious interest in securing the services of the Ghanaian defender.
The bid, submitted to the Porcupine Warriors, reflects Dubai City’s intent to strengthen their squad with proven African talent. Alongside the transfer fee, the proposed personal terms represent a significant career step for O’Neil.
Reports indicate the deal includes a monthly salary of $10,000 and an $80,000 signing-on bonus, positioning him among the better-compensated Ghanaian players abroad. Sources close to the negotiations suggest these figures have captured the attention of both the player and his representatives.
Asante Kotoko have yet to make a final decision, weighing the sporting consequences of losing a key defender against the financial incentives of the offer.
O’Neil has been a vital figure in Kotoko’s defence, and his potential departure would mark a notable shift ahead of the season’s next phase. Talks are expected to continue in the coming days as all parties determine whether the proposed move aligns with their long-term plans.
