Ghanaian midfielder Richard Boadu has reaffirmed his commitment to playing for the Black Stars, despite receiving an offer from the Libyan Football Association to switch nationality.
Boadu, who currently plays for Al-Tahaddi Sports Club in Libya, revealed that he was approached to naturalize and represent the North African country at the international level.
However, he turned down the offer, insisting that his dream is to wear the Ghanaian jersey.
“When I came here, they tried to get me to naturalise for Libya, but I declined. It’s not about the money; I am Ghanaian. I also want to represent my country and feel the pride,” Boadu told Fakye TV.
The former Asante Kotoko and Medeama SC midfielder has yet to receive a call-up to the Black Stars but remains hopeful that his performances in Libya will earn him a spot in the national team.
Boadu was a standout performer for the two teams during his stay in the Ghana Premier League before heading to North Africa for greener pastures.
