The contract of Brazilian striker Michael Vinicius with Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been canceled after only three months of playing in the Ghana Premier League.
Mariano Barreto, the head coach of the Porcupine Warriors, confirmed this on Wednesday at their MTN FA Cup game.
"Michael Vinícius is no more with us. The club will make an official announcement on his exit in the coming days," Barreto said.
Mariano Barreto revealed this after the Porcupine Warriors defeated Berkwai Youth Football Academy 2-0 in the round of 32 of the MTN FA Cup.
The Brazilian striker scored two goals in the ongoing 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League.
The 27-year-old signed a two-year contract with Kotoko after leaving Swedish third-tier team Vasalunds.
