Sulley Muntari takes GH¢1 monthly at Hearts

It has emerged that ex-Black Stars winger, Sulley Muntari, is paid just GH¢1 each month for playing for Accra Hearts of Oak, making him the lowest earning player in the league.

Muntari’s return to domestic football last month was, perhaps, the biggest transfer coups by Hearts for a high-profile who had spent the best years of his career in Europe where he won the UEFA Champions League with Inter Milan.

Explaining how Muntari came to sign for the club, a member of the Hearts board of directors, Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, said about five months prior to the player joining the team, the experienced midfielder had met with the club’s board chairman, Togbe Afede XIV, and demanded a huge amount of money which the Phobians could not afford.

Ridiculous offer

However, subsequently, Muntari – who played in the Italian Serie A, English Premier League and the Spanish La Liga during his illustrious career – backed down on his demands.
