Opare Addo in an interview with Kumasi based radio station Sikka FM disclosed the player wanted a year contract extension with the the club wanting more years.
“Joseph Esso opted for only one-year contract extension contrary to what Hearts were requesting for. His demands caused our decision to part ways with him,” said Opare Addo.
The 23-year-old joined Hearts of Oak on a three-year deal from fellow Premiership side Ebusua Dwarfs in 2017.
He netted 3 goals in his 14 appearances for the Phobians in the truncated 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season.
Esso was a member of the Black Stars ‘B’ squad that won silver medal at the 2019 WAFU Cup staged in Senegal.
The Phobians also released Agyare, Bonney, Traoré and Arthur for non-performance as their contracts with the club have run out.
