Ghanaian international and Arsenal midfielder Thomas Partey will be held responsible by investment expert Charles Mensah if he experiences financial issues after retiring from playing.
In Ghana, where many former football players experience hardship after their careers, Mensah’s remarks coincide with rising worries about the financial mismanagement sometimes seen among professional sportsmen.
Sporty FM’s speaker, Mensah, emphasized the value of athletes making wise financial decisions, particularly those who get high salaries while competing.
High-profile athletes like Partey, who presently receive a weekly pay of £200,000 and an annual income of £10.4 million at Arsenal, shouldn’t have an excuse for financial instability after retirement, according to Mensah.
If Thomas Partey goes bankrupt after football, I’ll “kill” him. I am aware that he has access to sound financial guidance.
Regardless of the magnitude of their paychecks, he emphasized that football players must make saving and investing a percentage of their income a priority.
“No matter how much a footballer earns, they must endeavor to save at least 10% of their salary.”
Mensah also emphasized how crucial attention and discipline are for professional sportsmen. He advised athletes to focus on their vocations and leave their money matters in the hands of capable experts.
