Mohammed Aminu’s rise and fall: The fairytale that faltered
Aminu’s story began with bright lights and even brighter expectations.
He rose to fame as a standout talent at WAFA, earning a dream move to English heavyweights Manchester City.
But as the years rolled on, that fairytale faced its share of hurdles.
Loan spells at Dutch side NAC Breda and Belgium’s Lommel SK failed to produce the expected spark, as noted by Ghanasoccernet.
Injuries and inconsistency played their part, and by 2022, the midfielder was officially released by City, his contract quietly coming to an end.
According to Transfermarkt, he has been without a club since September that year. Still, that hasn’t stopped him from staying active and maintaining a presence in the football community.
What is Mohammed Aminu’s current team?
Aminu remains unattached, three years after he was released by Man City.
Recently, Aminu shared footage on Instagram that got fans buzzing once again.
Under the watchful eye of respected coach Paa Kwesi Fabin, who’s handled clubs like Asante Kotoko and Legon Cities, the attacker was seen going through drills, looking focused and determined.
The video sparked conversations about a potential return to competitive football. After all, talent doesn’t fade—it just sometimes takes longer to find its place.
Though his professional journey hasn’t gone according to script, Aminu’s story isn’t over.
