According to Kumasi-based Oyerepa FM, the Swiss top-flight league club in its proposal is ready to do the initial payment of $500,000 and the balance of $500,000 when the Steadfast player attains 18years.
However, speaking to SportsworldGhana.com, Prince Umar Ibrahim said; "I am seriously surprised where the news is coming from, that is completely untrue."
"I can tell you that indeed, we have received a lot of offers for Fatawu after the U-20 AFCON in Mauritania but I can also tell you that FC Basel is not one of those clubs we are in talks with,’" he added.
At the recently ended U-20 AFCON, he finished the tournament as the best player on the back of his outstanding performances for the Ghana Black Satellites.
Fatawu has been handed Black Stars call-up by coach CK Akonnor ahead of the two remaining Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against South Africa and São Tomé and Principe.
