According to information reaching totalsportsghana.com, Asante Kotoko Sporting Club is bracing for the departure of four significant players at the end of the current season. The quartet includes Steven Dese Mukwala, Richmond Lamptey, Rashid Nortey, and Georges Mfegue.
Starting with Steven Dese Mukwala, the Ugandan forward is set to part ways with Asante Kotoko as he remains unwilling to extend his contract with the club. The club’s interim management committee has confirmed this development, indicating that efforts to retain the player have proven futile.
Additionally, Richmond Lamptey, the midfielder and deputy captain for Asante Kotoko, is also on the verge of exiting the club. It’s reported that the club has yet to meet Lamptey’s contract demands, increasing the likelihood of his departure post-season.
Georges Mfegue, who has struggled with performance issues, is another player on the departure list. With his contract nearing its end, Asante Kotoko is unlikely to extend his stay at the club, signaling an imminent exit for the player.
Rashid Nortey, the midfielder who has been linked with rivals Hearts of Oak, is also expected to bid farewell to Asante Kotoko. Nortey has been omitted from the team and wasn’t registered for the current season, indicating a potential rift between the player and the club.
As these four key players prepare to depart, Asante Kotoko will face the challenge of rebuilding and filling the void left by their absence in the upcoming seasons.
