Sit down with your family and decide - Baffour Gyan tells Kudus on Saudi Arabia move

Retired Ghanaian footballer Baffour Gyan has advised Mohammed Kudus to consult with his inner circle regarding the reported lucrative offer from the Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal.

In an interview with Kumasi-based Wontumi FM, Baffour Gyan urged the West Ham star to discuss the matter with his family before making any decisions about the deal.

Baffour Gyan explained that while Kudus is a football star with unanimous popularity among Ghanaians, his family is affected by his decisions, hence the need for him to involve them in the matter.

"He is a Ghanaian, and we all love him, but there are some decisions that you take with your family, and this is one of them. It's a decision he has to make with his family," he said.

Baffour Gyan also confirmed that he played a key role in convincing his brother, Asamoah Gyan, to accept an offer to play for the Chinese side Shanghai SPG.

In 2015, following his successful stint in the UAE, Asamoah Gyan signed a two-year deal worth £225,000 per week.

Baffour Gyan acknowledged being one of the people who urged Gyan to accept the deal, stating on Wontumi FM, "I was part of those who pushed him to China."

Asamoah Gyan admitted it was a difficult move but, after consulting with his family, was convinced it was the right step.

"It was a difficult decision for me, but I spoke to everyone around me, and we decided it was the best move for me. Luckily, it turned out well for me, and we have managed to establish companies that are employing Ghanaians," he said.

Reports by ESPN suggest that Al-Ittihad is looking to sign the Ghanaian for a fee of $150 million.

Additionally, the Saudi Pro League side is offering a weekly wage of $300,000 for the player.

Other perks the 23-year-old could qualify for include business class travel for his family, free accommodation, and cars.
