Veteran football administrator, Alhaji Gruzah, has claimed that Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku's sole motive as football chief is to sell his players to European clubs.

According to Gruzah, Okraku has earned all there is to gain financially since becoming the president and thus gives little or no attention to the Black Stars.

Alhaji premised his claim on Kurt Okraku not travelling with the team to Libya for their crucial game against Sudan, instead travelling to Germany to watch a Ghana U-20 friendly.

"For me, Kurt has gotten all he ever wanted. Since he became president, it has been all about his business, selling players. If that is not the case, why would he go to Germany? Even with that, it didn't go well," he told Peace FM.

The Black Satellites were mauled 5-0 by Germany in the friendly with Kurt Okraku watching on from the stands.

The game was part of the Satellites' preparations for the upcoming WAFU Zone B AFCON U-20 qualifiers.

On the other hand, the Black Stars lost 0-2 in a vital AFCON qualifier against Sudan a day after the Satellites' defeat.

Ghana is now on the brink of not qualifying for the 2025 AFCON after amassing just two points from four games.
