The financial meltdown continues Asamoah Gyanwhich began after the divorce with his now ex-wife. The former Udinese player, an African football legend, was ordered to hand over a house in the United Kingdom, a house in Accra, a petrol station and two cars to Gifty Gyan.
The court also ruled that Asamoah Gyan is the biological father of the couple’s three children, contradicting the Ghanaian’s claims. The former striker and his ex-wife have been involved in a legal battle that lasted about three years, amid accusations of infidelity and doubts about paternity. A DNA test disproved the man’s claims, and he will also have to pay 2,000 euros a month for child support. Although the couple had already separated, the court formally annulled the marriage following a petition filed by Asamoah Gyan himself. According to the Court, Gifty Gyan contributed to the purchase of the properties because she was the only one taking care of her children while Gyan practiced her trade. For this reason, she is entitled to the two homes. Asamoah Gyan announced his retirement in June. He is Africa’s top scorer at the World Cup – with six goals in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 editions – and has played in seven editions of the Africa Cup of Nations, helping the Black Stars to third place in 2008 and second place in 2010 and 2015. In Italia wore the shirts of Udinese and Modena from 2003 to 2008.

In addition to having an over-the-top life with lots of cars and jewels.
