Last-minute hurdles halt Aaron Opokuâs move to St. Louis
German-born Ghanaian winger Aaron Opokus much-anticipated transfer from FC Kaiserslautern to St. Louis City SC seemed destined to materialize.All parties agreed, and the deal was poised for completion. Yet, as the clock ticked down, logistical hurdles thwarted the move.The Red Devils opted to wait for their final match of the year against FC Kln before approving the transfer. By then, the narrow registration window in Major League Soccer had all but closed. With Opoku requiring several weeks to secure a work permit, time ran out, leaving both the player and St. Louis City SC empty-handed.Now, the 25-year-old winger faces an uncertain future. His contract with Kaiserslautern ends this summer, making a free transfer to the MLS a likely outcome. For Kaiserslautern, this failure to act swiftly means forfeiting a final chance to cash in on their talented player.According to Transfermarkt Opoku’s market value is 800,000 euros. He has played eight games, scored two, and assisted three in Bundesliga 2 this season.
