Serbian second division outfit Radnik Surdulica and Ghanaian native central defender Sadick Abubakar have reached an agreement to sign a new contract, Footy-Africa can exclusively confirm.
The 27-year-old’s contract at Radnik Surdulica, which was set to run down in June 2026, will now be extended for a further two campaigns. He has been at the club for the past three seasons, having joined them from another Serbian side, FK Radnick Sremska Mitrovica.
A highly placed exclusive source at Prostar, who are Abubakar’s representatives, has disclosed that Radnik Surdulica and the player agreed an extension with improved terms, and that the player will put pen to paper before the end of the week.
“They (Radnik Surdulica) have wanted to extend his (Abubakar’s) contract way before the end of last season, for an additional two years, and an agreement has finally been reached at, with official communication set to come out before this week ends. The player demanded for improved wages and the club didn’t hesitate, as they view him as a major pillar of the squad,” the source exclusively intimated to Footy-Africa.
In the concluded 2024/25 season, Abubakar managed 21 appearances across the Serbian Prva Liga and the domestic Cup, and has already played twice in the new campaign. Since joining Radnik Surdulica at the start of the 2022/23 season, the player, whose Transfermarkt valuation is estimated at €300,000, has featured 72 times across all competitions.
Internationally, despite receiving his maiden call to the Ghana senior national team, the Black Stars in 2021, he has yet to make an appearance in the shirt. He, however, featured two times for the youth-level Ghana U20 team.
