Renowned Ghanaian footballer, Michael Essien, is reportedly struggling with financial difficulties, including unpaid loans. According to sources, the Accra High Court Commercial Division has ordered the sale of two of his luxurious mansions to settle his debts.
The properties, located in East Legon and Trassaco, Adjiringanor, are valued at a staggering $20-30 million. Essien’s financial struggles have led to this unfortunate decision, which highlights the challenges faced by many footballers after retirement.
Essien’s illustrious football career spanned several years, playing for top-tier clubs like Chelsea and the Ghana Black Stars. However, his financial struggles serve as a reminder that even the most successful individuals can face financial difficulties.
The sale of his properties is expected to settle his unpaid loans, but the news has left many fans and colleagues shocked and concerned about Essien’s well-being.
As news of Essien’s financial struggles spread, social media erupted with shock and disbelief. “Maestro paa na asem wei ato nu oh. This keeps happening to people in sports, why?” said one user.
“Oh hmmm unbelievable,” added another. “The most unbelievable part of this story is a house in Ghana being valued at $20 million.”
Others questioned the valuation, asking “Which house in Accra costs $20-$30 million? How much did Ghana pay for even the Jubilee House? Bloggers and sensationalism.”
Some defended Essien, saying “Someone with a UEFA and FIFA coaching license is broke? Let’s get serious here; it could be due to any other reason but not a lack of money.” Many were left wondering, “Essien? Wow, how did he spend all the pounds he made?”
