The impact of the Coronavirus on Ghanaian clubs has led to talks in the media suggesting that players should take a pay cut in order to prevent clubs from collapsing.

Berekum Chelsea defender Ahmed Adams has joined the conversation and according to him, if players are subjected to a pay cut, it will affect their families and welfare.

“The pay cut is a good idea in some way but the players will be affected a lot since we also have families to take care of. At this moment the price of gari has even increased”, he told Nhyira FM.

“How much are even our salaries? None of the clubs in Ghana even pay more than €1000” he concluded.

The Ghana Football Association is in talks with the government to come to their aid according to the Communications Director,Henry Asante Twum.

The Coronavirus outbreak in the country has plunged clubs into financial difficulties.
