Footballghana.com can exclusively report that Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Mensah has parted ways with Albanian champions Partizani Tirana after mutually terminating his contract with the club.
The highly-rated striker has become surplus to requirement at the top-flight side following tension between himself and new Italian gaffer Franco Lerda. He does not seem to be needed at the club and has decided to part ways in hope of securing a move to any other interested club.
Emmanuel Mensah, 25, was key for the side last season where he netted five goals in 30 appearances. His overall performance helped the club to lift the championship but has now departed the side.
A statement from Partizani Tirana following his departure noted, ''Partizani Football Club thanks Emmanuel Mensah for his contribution in the red jersey”.
''The Ghanaian striker, who was part of the title-winning success, has decided to cut off the adventure with the reds, while also finding understanding with the club's leaders”.
''Through the official website, the 25-year-old striker thanks the club for wishing him success in the new season, as well as the fanfare of Partizan, who will remain an unforgettable part of his 1-year experience as the champions of Albania”.
''At the same time, the club would like to thank Emmanuel Mensah, wishing him many successes in his sporting career.”.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that the free agent is in negotiations with several clubs who have expressed interest in his services.
