Aduana Stars talisman Yahaya Mohammed ready to accept pay cut

Published on: 07 April 2020

Aduana Stars forward Yahaya Mohammed says he is ready to accept a pay-cut to help the club in this distressing times for football. 

The Ghana Premier League leading scorer admits he is willing to sacrifice for the club following his relationship with the owner of the team.

Players across Europe are taking pay-cuts to sustain their clubs and the non-playing staffs. This has led to calls for players in the domestic to follow suit.

Despite agreeing to take a pay cut, Yahaya Mohammed insists such decision will hardly hold in Ghana considering the salaries players receive.

"Per my relationship with the Aduana Stars, if management decide 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," he told Bryt FM.

"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 know that he is dealing with reliable people who can help in difficult time," he added.

"What I know is that, Ronaldo has his own sponsors including several Europeans players and so in this difficult times they can accept pay cut, but in the case of local players there is no single sponsor and that makes it difficult to cope with pay cut. So I will entreat Ghanaians to stop making comparison," he concluded.
