Charlton have withdrawn from the deal for Jes Rak-Sakyi, who was at Sparrows Lane this week ready to sign. Some people are saying the reason is medical issues, while Rich Cawley stated that the deal has been cancelled due to complications. The main obstacle is believed to be an ongoing dispute regarding his agent representation. A deal of approximately £4 million was apparently agreed.

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi’s £5m transfer to Charlton Athletic will not proceed. Sky Sports News reported that the clubs were not able to agree on the final details of the deal. The clubs had seemed close to an agreement earlier this week, and Rak-Sakyi was at CAFC’s training ground for a medical and to discuss personal terms.

Charlton Athletic and Premier League side Crystal Palace are finalising an agreement for the permanent signing of Ghanaian international winger Jesurun Rak-Sakyi. The 23-year-old is at the Sparrows Lane training ground to undergo a medical and sign his contract. Rak-Sakyi, who is in the final year of his contract with Crystal Palace, was expected to leave in the summer. Interest had also been shown in him by Wrexham and Burnley, but he is now returning to his former loan club. According to Transfermarkt, the player's current market value is €6.00m. In January and February 2026, Crystal Palace's asking price was reportedly an £8 million obligation-to-buy fee. A reported bid of £10 million from Southampton was rejected during the summer of 2025.
