Former Dreams FC captain Abdul Jalilu has made the bold move to join Mukura Sport Vision FC in Rwanda, citing his desire to change his environment and take on new challenges.
The 24-year-old Ghanaian defender, who was a key player for Dreams FC in the 2023-2024 Ghana Premier League season, revealed that he wasn't tired of playing in the Ghana Premier League, but felt it was time to move on after four years.
“I was not tired of playing in the Ghana Premier League, but after years of doing so, I felt it was time to move out.”
“Just like everyone prays for the best in life, I needed to change because it was beneficial to me. I am playing football to transform the family, especially given the number of people that rely on you. So, when you get an offer and compare it to what you used to take, you just think about it and move”
Jalilu emphasized that his motivation isn't about chasing individual accolades like the Ballon d'Or or World Best award, but rather about transforming his family's life and providing for those who depend on him.
“Honestly, I'm not playing football to win the Ballon D'or or the World Best, no! I'm more interested in changing homes because my current one isn't very good.”
“The Ghana Premier League is fantastic, but after four years, I felt it was time to alter the environment.”
The former defender, who played a crucial role in Dreams FC's impressive run in the CAF Confederation Cup, is expected to strengthen the backline of Mukura Sport Victory FC next season.
