Mathew Amoah says the vitriolic attacks suffered as a returning foreign-based player to play in the local league puts him off the idea.
The 31-year-old striker appears to be winding down an illustrious career in Europe spanning 14-years and is toing with the idea of making a return to the Ghana league.
But the experiences of past professionals who made similar moves according to the Mersin Idmanyurdu player makes the prospect highly unlikely.
ââ¬ÅElsewhere on the African continent, mos countries welcome their big players from Europe into their respective leagues with no problems,â⬠he told Kumasi-based Agel FM.
ââ¬ÅIt would have been very nice for supporters to come to the stadium to watch Mathew Amoah, or Stephen Appiah and the likes.
ââ¬ÅBut the kind of insuslts you receive with some also going to your family makes it very difficult for some of us to make such a move.
ââ¬ÅOdartey Lamptey for instance on his return to Asante Kotoko suffered similar attacks and it is an ordeal no player would like to go through.ââ¬
Laryear Kinston is the latest to make such a transition after returning to his boyhood club Hearts of Oak in an attempt to relaunch his career.
