Soumaïla Konaré, who joined the African Club last summer, is reportedly facing difficulties in Tunisia, describing his experience as “an ordeal.” The Ivorian player has expressed his frustration on social media, alleging threats from club directors after speaking out about the challenges he is facing.
In a post on his Facebook page, Konaré claimed to be in a situation he perceives as a “mess” and mentioned that he is uncertain if he has fallen victim to a scam. To protest against what he describes as “the excesses of football which calls itself professional,” the 21-year-old player announced his decision to start a hunger strike.
Konaré is seeking explanations from the officials of the African Club, as well as from agent Marouenne Kasbaoui. The situation sheds light on the challenges and issues that can arise for players in the realm of professional football, both on and off the field.
