Asante Kotoko Communications Director, Sarfo Duku, says the club is now bent on making money out of player transfers.
His comments come after Albert Amoah’s move to Libyan side Al Ahli Benghazi just six games into the season. There is a debate about the timing of players’ transfer, with some believing it is not ideal at this time.
However, Sarfo Duku insists it is the right way to go, citing a lack of sponsorship and economic reasons that affect the club’s financial stability.
Speaking to Luv FM, he said: “Let me, let me be frank with you that the only motivation left in our game today is to get an opportunity to sell one or two players outside, otherwise a time will come that clubs will have to beg to raise funds.
“The matches are not fetching us money. Sponsors are not coming because of economic reasons- and so who do we blame? If opportunity comes, and Kotoko has to be run, why not?” he quizzed.
Kotoko sold their best forward in the team right after a 5-1 defeat to Wydad Athletic in Morocco, a defeat that ended their campaign in Africa.
“If the aim is to win continental trophies, I don’t think we are there yet because we are not well-resourced. Look at how their (WAC) fans were organised yesterday,” Sarfo said.
