Genk of Belgium defender Mujaid Sadick Aliu will not rush a decision on his senior international future as he plan to keep his current status as an international with the Spanish team.
The 21 year old is eligible to represent Nigeria or Ghana despite the fact that he has played for Spain at youth level but a switch of nationality isn’t top of his priority for now.
Sources close to the ex Deportivo La Coruna defender role OwnGoalNigeria.comthat he prefers to remain with the Spanish team until he turns 23 before he will make a decision on a possible switch of nationality.
“ We haven’t had that discussion for now because the focus is on cementing his spot with Genk. He is a new country and a new team, so he need time to settle down before we open any chapter on senior international football”, he said.
“ He is just 21 and after representing Spain at U17 and U18 levels, it’s best to keep it that way until he at least turns 23. A decision could be reached before then but it depends on his form and also the push from either Nigeria or Ghana”.
