Hibernian midfielder Alasana Manneh is set to leave the club after a short stint. The 28-year-old Gambian midfielder joined Hibernian in the winter window last year and signed a contract with the club running until 2028. However, he did not establish a regular role at Hibernian, making only nine appearances for the club and playing 257 minutes.
According to Inside Futbol, Kolding IF is closing in on signing Alasana Manneh on a one-year deal. The transfer fee for Alasana Manneh from Hibernian is not yet established. This move comes as a surprise, given that Hibernian are set to retain Josh Mulligan, who has been featuring prominently in David Gray's plans at the club.
Hibernian's recent form has been inconsistent, with the team currently sitting 19 points behind leaders Heart of Midlothian in the Premiership. The team has scored 51 goals this season, while conceding 37, resulting in a +14 goal difference. In their last result, Hibernian lost 0-1 to Motherwell on May 16.
What the fee means for the summer budget
The transfer fee for Alasana Manneh is not yet established, but it is expected to be a significant amount. This could impact Hibernian's summer budget, with the club potentially needing to make adjustments to accommodate the transfer.
Where he fits in the current squad
Alasana Manneh's departure will likely create a void in Hibernian's midfield, with the club needing to find a suitable replacement. Josh Mulligan's retention is a positive sign for the club, but the loss of Alasana Manneh will still be felt.
