Communications Officer of Aduana Stars, Evans Oppong has blamed ‘greedy’ football agents for the rampant player’s contract extension refusals.
An earlier report in the local media suggests that the Dormaa based outfit is on the verge of losing nine key players as their contract with the club is set to come to an end.
Despite denying such report, Evans Oppong shared that clubs in the country in recent times suffer from the hands of agents who normally influence players not to extend their contracts.
“I will describe some agents as selfish and greedy because they only think about their personal gains at the expense of the club. You will go to a particular and you realize some players are unwillingness to extend their deals due to influence from their agents”
“A club will commence talks to extend contracts of their players but the so-called agents will be playing hide and seek and before you realize the player’s contract had expired which is bad”
“Ask yourself why Ashantigold is losing top players like Latif Anabila, James Akaminko, Shafiu Mumuni and others, while they could have earned about $200, 000 from their sale, its all because of their agents. These agents influence the players not to sign since they think about their selfish interest” he told Vision FM.
