The future of the Togolese striker Lapa Kudju with the Emirati club Al Ain has become more clear, as the club tends to extend the player’s contract after the great levels he presented, despite the external offers he received recently.
It is noteworthy that the current Kodju contract with Al Ain extends until June 30, 2026, and the player is one of the main pillars in the team since joining the Renaissance of the Moroccan Berkane in 2019.
Does Al Ain resolve the renewal of the Lapa Kudju contract soon?
According to the African newspaper “228foot”, Al -Ain Club has already started its negotiations with the Togolese striker to extend the period of his stay in the team, in light of the administration’s conviction of its scoring capabilities and its influential role in various championships.
The sources indicate that Kodjo, in turn, prefers to continue within the leader’s castle, in appreciation of the experience he has been in for more than five years, which gave him a remarkable fame in the region, as well as his feeling of belonging to the club, which he described as “the house that gave him everything.”
Kodjo numbers with Al Ain in the 2024-2025 season
In the last season, Lapa Kudjo played 35 games in Al Ain shirt in all competitions, and he managed to score 23 goals, and he also made 4 goals for his teammates, to be considered one of the most prominent strikers in the UAE league.
These numbers are strengthened by his position as the best foreign goal in the club’s history, which causes the administration to adhere to its services in light of its desire to compete for the titles locally and continental during the next season.
When will the renewal file be decided?
Expectations indicate that the two parties are approaching to reach a final agreement within a few weeks, especially since Al Ain Club places renewal at the top of its summer priorities, in addition to strengthening the team with new elements before the start of the season.
The leader is betting on the continuation of Kodjo to ensure technical and offensive stability, especially since the player has great experience in Gulf stadiums and knows very well the nature of local competitions.
