Kennedy Boateng was in negotiations with Kocaelispor in Turkey, but the option for a move is no longer being pursued because the club cannot match the 900,000 euros annual salary offered by Al Fateh.

According to Turkish journalists from Kocaeli Halk, Kennedy Boateng is the subject of serious interest from Kocaelispor. A representative of Kocaelispor closely observed the 29-year-old defender, who played for Dinamo. The club's management has gathered information about the player's situation. Boateng's current contract expires on June 30, 2026. The club's goal is to acquire Kennedy Boateng without paying a transfer fee. The initiative is reported to have been approved by the technical staff and has generated excitement among the fans. If the conditions are met, the transfer department will make every effort to add Boateng to the squad.

Togolese international Kennedy Boateng, 29, will not extend his contract with Dinamo Bucarest and will leave as a free agent this summer. The central defender has, according to reports, rejected several renewal offers from the Romanian club as he is looking for a new challenge. While his next destination is not yet known, Turkish club Kocaelispor is very interested in him. Additionally, Shandong Taishan FC of the Chinese Super League has shown specific interest and is monitoring his situation. The defender, who joined Dinamo in July 2024, has 14 caps for his country and a current market value of €1.20m, according to Transfermarkt.
