However, the club is expected to extend the contract of the talented winger, who topped the youth league in scoring and has shown potential to thrive in MLS.

Market value
During his debut season with Orlando City SC, Shak Mohammed only played for the club’s second team. Nevertheless, over the year, he contributed to 10 goals, which increased his market value by 1.5 times. His consistent performances earned him a chance to debut for the main team in the 2024 season. Additionally, he became the top scorer for Orlando City SC’s second team, netting 11 goals, which further doubled his transfer value. As of now, Transfermarkt.com values the Ghanaian footballer at €150,000, a figure that seems surprisingly low given his goal-scoring record.

National team
Shak Mohammed has yet to be called up to the Ghana national team. Despite showing promise, the young winger has not captured the attention of the national team’s coaches due to a lack of regular playing time at the senior level.
Prospects
As the 2025 season kicks off, Shak Mohammed remains on the bench for the main team of Orlando City SC and has not yet seen any playing time. If he continues to be sidelined, it is likely he may return to the second team to maintain his form. However, even limited playing time in MLS could be transformative for his career, accelerating his integration into senior football and paving the way for a contract renegotiation under more favorable terms.
