Ghana international left-back Baba Rahman is on the verge of reuniting with Super League Greece side PAOK FC on a permanent deal from English Premier League club Chelsea FC.
The 29-year-old, who previously played on loan at PAOK in 2021, is poised to once again join the Thessaloniki-based club for the upcoming season.
Personal terms between PAOK and Baba Rahman have already been agreed upon, with Chelsea prepared to rip off the player's one-year contract in order to facilitate the move.
According to European football expert, Fabrizio Romano, Baba Rahman will leave Chelsea after both parties agreed to terminate the player’s contract.
Baba Rahman will sign a two-year deal with Greek club PAOK in the coming days.
Baba spent the 2022/23 football season on loan at relegated English Championship side Reading FC.
His contract with Chelsea FC was set to expire on June 30, 2024, but both parties have mutually terminated the deal with Chelsea set to benefit from any future sale while a clause will also be inserted into his PAOK contract which will trigger payments to Chelsea when he plays a certain number of matches.
Rahman initially joined Chelsea in 2015 but has faced challenges in establishing himself at the club with injuries and poor form to blame and has embarked on countless loan spells.
He has since joining Chelsea been loaned out to several clubs including Schalke 04, Stade de Reims, RCD Mallorca, Reading, PAOK Saloniki among others.
