Aduana Stars goal poacher Yahaya Mohammed says he will be the first person to accept pay cut at the club should management decide to slash down their salaries.
There have been calls on local players to emulate the European stars as they take a pay cut to help reduce the financial crisis for their various clubs amid coronavirus storm.
The outbreak of the disease has caused the suspension of football-related activities as club owners and administrators begin to take drastic decisions.
It is uncertain whether the 2019/2020 league will continue or not due to the Convid-19.
This has generated a heated argument in the country as to whether local players salaries must be slash or not.
Adding his voice to the matter is the former Kotoko striker Yahaya Mohammed who is ready to accept pay cut at Aduana Stars.
“Per my relationship with the Aduana Stars, if management decides to reduce our salaries I will be the first person to accept it because I know the club do not have any sponsorship apart from Betway”
“The club only depend on gate proceeds and in Ghana, apart from Kotoko and Hearts of Oak who have the highest fan base the rest struggle to even get much from gate proceeds. So we will do that to help the club owner for him to know that he is dealing with reliable people who can help in a difficult time,” he told Sylvester Ntim ‘Koke’ of Bryt FM.
Yahaya has therefore called on Ghanaians to stop comparing local players to that of the Europeans in a bid to slash down salaries as he believes pay cut will not affect them due to what they earn monthly.
Citing Cristiano Ronaldo as an example, he said, “What I know is that, Ronaldo has his own sponsors including several Europeans players and so in this difficult times they can accept a pay cut, but in the case of local players there is no single sponsor and that makes it difficult to cope with a pay cut. So I will entreat Ghanaians to stop making a comparison.”
