Gor Mahia’s efforts to clear with their former goalkeeper Adama Keita in a bid to have their FIFA transfer ban lifted before the February window closes appear to have hit a snag after the two parties failed to strike a deal.Keita took Gor Mahia to FIFA after they first failed to pay him for a couple of months and later axed him from the team while he still had a running contract. The player took the club to FIFA and was awarded a payout of USD 24,021 by the world football governing body. At the current exchange rate, Gor will have to part with Kes. 3,055,293.99.##NAJAVA_MECA_7108285##The FKF Premier League leaders are keen on registering their newly signed players, but they first must get their names off FIFA’s bad books. Last week, they reached out to the veteran Mali keeper with a proposal to pay his money in installments; they also wanted him to waive part of the monies owed to him, but the two parties failed to make headway.”Gor Mahia came up with a proposal last week. They told my lawyer that they want to pay the money in two installments and that they also want me to waive some of the money. We did not reach an agreement, and we are back where we were before the talks commenced,” Keita told Mozzart Sport.The matter has dragged on for months, and the custodian says he wants the record Kenyan champions to settle his debt so that the matter can be brought to a close.BREAKINGGor Mahia has been ordered by FIFA to pay Malian goalkeeper, Adama Keita Kes. 2, 951, 220.06 plus interest in salary arrears and for breach of contract.In September the club was directed to pay him over 1.1 million in salary arrears. #FKFPL pic.twitter.com/6kGUliLUEk— Ole Teya (@TeyaKevin) November 30, 2022 “They owe me 24021 USD, and I want them to pay me the money so that we can close that file; I want this case to come to an end,” he added.Gor Mahia have already signed Sylvester Owino, Enock Wanyama, Patrick Kaddu, and Emery Bayisenge but cannot register the players until they pay their former foreign legion. Last week, they were dealt a further blow when FIFA directed them to pay Congolese striker Yangayay Sando Sando just over KES 1 million after they terminated his contract.Others who have reported Gor to FIFA are Tanzanian striker Dickson Ambundo, Ugandan defender Shaffik Batambuze, and Ghanaian midfielder Jackson Owusu.The club has in the past said that they are doing all they can to have the transfer embargo lifted after serving a two-window suspension.Anyembe looking forward to donning Kenyan colors for Harambee Stars
