Exclusive: Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes finds replacement for Ghanaian defender Gideon Mensah

Published on: 08 April 2021

Ghana international defender Gideon Mensah will leave Vitoria Guimaraes at the end of the season as the club finds his replacement, Footballghana.com can reveal.

Mensah, who joined the Portuguese club last summer from Red Bull Salzburg, will return to parent after Vitoria Guimaraes failed to meet the asking price of the Austrian based club.

The Austrian giants are demanding 2.2 million euros for the defender who has become an integral member of the team which Guimaraes are unwilling to pay.

However, the club has promoted youth team defender Hélder Sá to replace departing Gideon Mensah and has been handed a 3-year-deal from the youth team with a release clause of 30 million Euros.

Mensah has been impressive for club in the ongoing season after making 16 appearances.

His current contract with Red Bull Salzburg will end in 2024.
