Rot-Weiss Essen to part ways with injured Ghana defender Aaron Manu

German third-tier side Rot-Weiss Essen (RWE) are preparing to bid farewell to Ghanaian defender Aaron Manu, marking the club's tenth departure this season, according to WAZ newspaper reports.

Aaron Manu, who joined RWE at the beginning of the current season, has struggled with injuries, restricting him to just one appearance in the 3. Liga and a few games in the national cup.

Despite his contract running until 2025, the club has indicated a desire for an early transfer, signaling their intent to part ways with the defender.

The club must now find a buyer for Manu or be ready to pay substantial compensation fees to facilitate the early termination of his contract.

This development leaves Manu's future uncertain as both he and the club evaluate their next steps.

During his brief stint, Manu contributed to RWE's success in winning the German Lower Rhine Cup.

However, his limited playtime and ongoing injury issues have prompted the club to seek a resolution that might benefit both parties.
