Division One League side Tema Youth has been ordered by the Ghana Football Association's Player Status Committee to settle their indebtedness to Young RedBull FC for the onward transfer fee of Joseph Paintsil.

Tema Youth earned 3 million Euros from Belgian side KRC Genk for the transfer of the Black Stars winger in 2018.

Lower  tier side Young RedBull FC who nurtured and honed the talents of the winger were due 30% of  the transfer fee as part of their agreement between Tema Youth on future transfer of  Joseph Paintsil.

Tema Youth failed  to pay  the stipulated 30% future sell on  fees on the transfer of Paintsil forcing  the club to drag  them before the Player Status Committee.

An agreement between Young RedBull FC and Tema Youth over the future transfer of Joseph Paintsil was reached in 2015 with Mr Henry Acquah signing on behalf of Young RedBull whiles Mr Wilfred Kwaku Osei signed on behalf of his club Tema Youth.

Per the agreement, Tema Youth are to pay Young RedBull thirty percent of any future transfer fee of Joseph Paintsil to either a local or foreign club whiles Tema Youth will also take seventy percent.

In their petition filed with the Player Status Committee, Young RedBull avers that they have only been paid 121,193 euros from the transfer fee instead of the 900,000 euros.

Per the ruling, the Tema based Division One League side have been ordered to pay the outstanding balance of 778,807 euros to Red Bull FC within one month.

If the club refuse to comply  with the order within the stipulated time frame, Tema Youth who currently lead the Zone Three of the National Division One League with 48 points may suffer adverse sanctions including points deduction among others.
