Football Ibrahim Kasule: Ankara, New York Red bulls on legal collision course
Kasule joined Turkish Second League side Ankara during the January transfer window for an undisclosed fee, despite holding a prior pre-contract agreement with Redbull, it is claimed.
Since Wakiso Giants had already agreed to a fee with the Turkish club, it was up to NewYork Red Bull II to engage Ankara Keciörengücü to sign the player, and that seems to have been sorted.
Kasule's arrival to the States was revealed by Ibra Ssekagya, who shared a picture on his official Twitter handle with the midfielder and forward Frank Ssebuufu.
Kasule also shared a photo on his Twitter handle standing next to the New York Red Bull II Badge at the club facility captioned: "Alhamdulillah, let your will be upon me, ya Allah."
With Kasule now set to join NewYork Red Bull II, he will become the third Ugandan at the club, joining former teammate Ssebuufu and former KCCA FC winger Steven Sserwada.
