Black Stars striker Richmond Boakye Yiadom has cut ties with Serbian giants Red Star Belgrade after the expiration of his contract.

After two stints and making more than 100 appearances with the Serbian side the Ghanaian has parted ways with Red Star Belgrade.

Richmond Boakye Yiadom first joined the Serbian champions in 2017 on loan and scored an impressive 16 goals in 19 games in all competitions, and won the best player of the week on two occasions within the Serbian Superliga.

After an impressive season a lucrative deal from Chinese Super League side Jiangsu Sunning came in before the Ghanaian striker left but things did not go well for the Ghanaian striker in China.

On 31 August 2018, Boakye signed a new 2.5-year contract with an optional one-year extension for Red Star in a €2.5 million transfer, just six months after the transfer to Jiangsu Suning.

Boakye contributed to Red Star's 2018-19 UEFA Champions League campaign, as the team qualified to the group stage for the first time after 27 years.

An emotional Richmond Boakye Yiadom had this to say about leaving the Serbian giants;

"It is not easy to leave this team, because the love before it is very great. It's like being at home here, and leaving the club with which you started creating something that will stay forever, surely hits right in the heart. But football and my life have to move on. It was not easy, but with God's help, I managed to collect so many games and score many goals. Without my teammates, I would not have succeeded and I am very happy to have become a part of the history of this club."

After becoming the best foreigner goalscorer in the history of the club, Boakye became the first foreigner to wear a Red Star jersey over two separate terms.

He made 104 appearances and scored 60 goals in all competitions for the Serbian giants.
