An informant informed Ghanasoccernet of this, and on March 2, they updated their website with a report containing the information.

Christian Atsu and his family have been pictured together in lovely images over the course of their 11-year marriage, but reports suggest that for the past two years, the Ghanaian player "was dying within" due to the divorce proceedings.

The book "Stop Bullying Me," written by Marie-Claire, describes the experiences of a lady who endures humiliation, bitter remarks, and difficult acceptance.


Delilah, the main character, attempts to be happy and independent, but things don't always go as she plans. She hopes to manage her life after the breakdown and be able to trust completely once more.

Christian Atsu and his wife reportedly split up after that in 2021, and she forbade him from speaking to the former Rio Ave and Vitesse Arnhem star.

In his adolescent years, Atsu met German citizen Marie-Claire at Portuguese powerhouse Porto, which was his first club outside of Japan. They got married in 2012, and they ultimately had three kids.

Upon hearing of Atsu's passing, his aunt sobs.

According to a different story, Atsu's relatives expressed their deep grief at hearing of their relative's tragedy in Turkey.


An elderly woman who described herself as Atsu's aunt and mother broke down in tears and expressed conflicting emotions in the video that was posted online.

After a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck regions of Turkey, including Hatay, where he plays for Hatayspor, Atsu was buried under debris.
