Striker Richmond Boakye-Yiadom is the highest valued Ghanaian youngster on the international football transfer market. This follows a proposal by Serie B league leaders Sassuolo to buy out the 50% of contract from Genoa for �4 million. Juventus bought 50% of his market share for �4m just nine months ago from Genoa. The striker�s other 50% share worth �4m has been requested by Sassuolo after his sterling performance this season has taken them to the brink of Serie A promotion. It is understood the development follows Juventus� rejection of an outright �8m bid from Sassuolo for the 20-year old former Bechem United star. According to transfermarkt.com, Boakye-Yiadom and Christian Atsu are the highest priced Ghana Under-22 players. The website rates both Yiadom and Atsu at �6m each with Jordan Ayew in third on �5m. The quartet of Afriyie Acquah, Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu, Majeed Waris and Mubarak Wakaso are at �2.5m each and in joint fourth position. In fifth position Joseph Duncan stands with a market worth of �1.5m. While in sixth position Emmanuel Frimpong stands with �1.3m, in seventh it is Daniel Opare on �1.2m. Hereafter, Baba Abdul Rahman ends the million euro barrier with �1m. Jonathan Mensah is on �800,000 whilst Jeff Schlupp, David Accam and Kwame Nsor fall on �500,000, �500,000, and �350,000 respectively.
