“I Love Kotoko…… But…”-Sulley Muntari hints
Hearts of Oak’s hopes of luring Ghana international Sulley Muntari for a future with the club have been dealt a blow as the 2010 UEFA champions league winner professed his love for arch rivals Asante Kotoko.
The former Inter and AC Milan man has been unattached since ending a six-month stint with Spanish second division outfit Albacete last year.
He has been heavily linked with Hearts in recent times, having had training spells with the club, and has as well been reported to be considering a move to a club in South Africa.
“I love Kotoko. They tried signing me when l was a young player in Kumasi,” Muntari said in an Instagram Live chat with his fans.
“I would love to retire with them, but l would not rule out Hearts, RTU [Real Tamale United], King Faisal or Liberty Professionals.”
Muntari, who represented Ghana at the 2006, 2010 and 2014 Fifa World Cup tournaments, has also played for English side Sunderland, Italian fold Pescara, Spanish outfit Deportivo La Coruna and Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
With 23 titles, Kotoko are the most successful club in the history of the GPL, having four more wins than second-placed Hearts.
