Daniel Afriyie Barnie has six months left to see out his current deal with the Hearts, but the Ghanaian giants are eager to tie him down to fresh terms.
Barnie’s agent is set to meet with Hearts officials for final contract extension talks today, according to Phobianews.com
Barnie has spent the last two and a half years on Hearts’ books, having been snapped up from Madina Republicans for back in January 2020.
The forward has emerged as one of the top forwards of his generation in the Ghanaian elite division, but has now reached the final few months of his current contract and has a big decision to make regarding his future.
The 22-year-old has been Hearts’ star player this season, scoring 11 goals across all competitions to help the club win the FA Cup trophy for the second consecutive time.
The Phobians have been looking to extend Barnie’s contract in the last few weeks but reports in the Ghanaian media claim talks between the two parties have been dragging on for weeks without any sign of a solution.
It’s reported that Barnie is looking to earn a deal Gh¢15,000 a month salary. Both Barnie and Hearts’ negotiators believe that the Ghana international deserves a hefty pay rise at the club, but there is still little sign that either side will compromise in an attempt to find middle ground.
