Ime Okon has decided to leave "Supersport United" during the upcoming summer transfer window. The 21-year-old central defender from South Africa will become a free agent when his current contract expires on June 30, 2025.
Negotiations between the player and club have reached a dead end. Despite several months of discussions about a potential contract extension, the parties couldn't find common ground.
The young defender has set his sights on continuing his career in Europe. Right now, Ukrainian giants "Dynamo Kyiv" and Danish side "Midtjylland" are leading the race for his signature.
Interestingly, Okon's market value is estimated at €850,000 – a decent price tag for a young defender with his potential. During the current season, he featured in 24 matches across all competitions and even managed to find the net once.
The South African is expected to announce his final decision soon, revealing which club he'll join next. Will he choose the Ukrainian powerhouse or opt for the Danish league as his stepping stone into European football? That's the question on everyone's lips right now.
By the way, Okon's departure marks another talented player leaving the South African league for European opportunities – a familiar pattern for the region's brightest prospects.
