According to David Obeng Nyarko, the Communication Manager of Asante Kotoko, the highest-paid player in the team earns $2,000 as a monthly salary.
This amount is a significant improvement compared to what the players used to receive in previous years. He also mentioned that the least paid player, who is a senior high school student, receives GHC2500 monthly.
In an interview with Angel FM Kumasi, David Obeng Nyarko stated that Kotoko's previous monthly salary expenses amounted to GHC64,000. However, under the management of Nana Yaw Amponsah, the team now spends GHC350,000 on salaries alone.
“I think the highest-paid player takes around $2,000. The least paid player is an SHS boy and he is paid GHC2500 monthly”
David Obeng Nyarko added that the club's salary structure was problematic, but the new management has taken steps to address the issue.
“The total amount of salaries for the players at the end of the month was around GHC64, 000 but after we took over the salary is now GHC350, 000. The salary structure of the club was problematic, he added
Rocky Dwamena of T.I Ahmadiyya Senior High School in Kumasi is the only student in the squad and could be the lowest-paid player in the team, However, Ugandan forward Steven Mukwala is rumored to be the highest earner in the squad.
