Kumasi Asante Kotoko is at the risk of being relegated from the Ghana Premier League by next month if they fail to pay a debt of $180,000 to Tunisia’s giants Esperance.
This was contained in a letter to the Porcupine Warriors from FIFA stating that they have just 18 days to settle the long-standing debt or they will be playing in Ghana’s second-tier league and will still be required to pay the debt.

Esperance have already frozen $150,000 they have to pay Kotoko over the transfer of Kwame Bonsu which means the Ghanaian side must pay $30,000 to clear the debt.
“Kotoko have received a letter from FIFA which orders them to pay us $180,000 for the wrongful signing of Emmanuel Clottey,” Esperance vice President Walid Arem told Nhyira FM
“We don’t owe them but rather they owe us $30,000 and they have to settle us before the date stated in the letter from FIFA”
“We bought Kwame Bonsu for $150,000 and they also owe us $180,000. We need the money badly, so we’re waiting for it.”
Kotoko sparked their own woes when they reported to the Tunisian club to FIFA claiming the transfer fee of their former midfielder Kwame Bonsu was still unpaid.
