Hearts of Oak have dismissed reports claiming the club has placed a transfer valuation on goalkeeper Benjamin Asare following his impressive performances for Ghana at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
In an official statement released on Wednesday, July 15, the Phobians described the reports circulating in the media and on social media as “false and without factual basis,” insisting that no official valuation has been placed on the Black Stars shot-stopper.
“Hearts of Oak has not placed any valuation on Benjamin Asare and has not authorised any individual or media outlet to communicate a transfer fee or asking price on its behalf,” the club stated.
The clarification comes amid growing speculation over Asare’s future after his standout displays for the Black Stars on the global stage, which have reportedly attracted interest from clubs outside Ghana.
While rejecting claims that a transfer fee has already been determined, Hearts of Oak acknowledged that they remain open to considering offers that are in the best interests of both the player and the club.
The club, however, stressed that no official valuation has been communicated and urged the public to treat any figures currently being circulated as mere speculation.
“Hearts of Oak remains a professionally run football club and is open to receiving and considering offers that serve the best interests of both the player and the club. However, no official valuation has been communicated at this time, and any figures currently in circulation are speculative,” the statement added.
The club also called on journalists, supporters, stakeholders and the general public to disregard unverified reports regarding Asare’s transfer value.
It further encouraged media organisations to verify information through the club’s official communication channels before publication.
Hearts of Oak concluded the statement by reaffirming their pride in Asare’s achievements with the Black Stars and pledged to continue supporting his development while safeguarding the integrity of the club’s operations.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign significantly raised Asare’s profile, with the goalkeeper emerging as one of Ghana’s standout performers, leading to widespread speculation over a potential move abroad during the current transfer window.
