Abdul Aziz Yakubu, a high-flying Ghanaian star, will join Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly after the two clubs reached a transfer agreement on Tuesday.
The deal, according to Portuguese media, would cost about €2.5 million, with his former club Vitória de Guimares being entitled to receive half of the proceeds.
The 24-year-old is traveling to Egypt, where, following a clean bill of health, he will sign a contract lasting for four and a half seasons.
After a stellar season in the second tier during the 2021/22 season, Aziz made his loan to Rio Ave into a permanent arrangement.
A compulsory acquisition condition in the loan deal applied if the team was promoted to the top division, which it was. In accordance with the contract, Vitória holds 50% of the subsequent transfer.
Abdul Aziz Yakubu has made 15 appearances for Rio Ave in the Taça de Portugal this season, scoring eight goals and dishing out three assists.
