“Kotoko and Coach Maxwell Konadu contacted me for the service of Imoro. We agreed on a transfer fee of Gh¢ 240,000 but they have refused to pay us after rejecting an initial payment [Gh¢ 35,000] which was a peanut.

“The player was signed on a four-year deal which cost Gh¢ 240,000. Ibrahim Imoro was to received Gh¢ 160,000 and my club was to be paid Gh¢ 80,000 per the contract we all signed.
