It has emerged that former Chelsea and Black Stars mercurial midfielder, Michael Essien’s two houses at East Legon and Trassaco are up for auction.
The sale of the properties was ordered by the Deputy Sheriff, High Court (Commercial Division), on June 12, 2024.
The properties are located at the Stephen Quarshie Crescent, East Legon, House Number 9 and House Number 204/205, Trassaco (Phase 2) Adjiringano, all in Accra.
The auctioneer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said one of the properties ranges between $20m and $30m.
Nicknamed the Bull or the Bison, the former Chealse, AC Milan, Bastia and Real Madrid man was one of the highest paid players on the continent.
Since retiring from professional football, Essien, who is an assistant coach at Danish side, FC Nordsjaelland has encountered challenges in his business and investment ventures, despite earning significantly during his playing days.
It is unclear what has led to the auction of the ex-footballer’s mansions and whether it has anything to do with a legal battle.
