Black Stars defender, Gideon Mensah will leave Portuguese club Vitoria Sport Clube at the end of the season, GHANASoccernet.com can exclusively report.
The 22-year-old is on loan from Austrian giants Red Bull Salzburg with the Portuguese outfit having the option of making the deal a permanent one.

Mensah has been outstanding in the ongoing campaign making 16 Primeira Liga appearances for the European place chasing Guimaraes.
The left-back who joined Red Bull Salzburg in 2019 from feeder side FC Liefering has spent time on loan at Zulte Waregem and Vitoria Guimaraes.
He was a member of the Red Bull Salzburg youth team that won the UEFA Youth champions league in 2017.
His contract with the Austrian giants ends in 2024.
