Rachier has further asked Constantine to follow the right channel, and that they won't hold back Kahata and will instead let him leave once they agree on a suitable deal.

"Kahata still has a contract with us and they have decided to talk to him instead of us the club. We are ready to listen to them if they write to us. We will release Kahata once we agree on the deal," he added.
