Former Ghana Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has weighed in on the ongoing debate about Andre Ayew’s future with the national team.
Speaking in an interview on Sporty FM, Agyemang-Badu emphasized that the decision to continue playing for the Black Stars should be entirely up to Ayew.
Andre Ayew knows his body more than me. If he feels good, is performing well for his club, and the coach wants him, fine. The decision to continue or stop should be his. I just don’t want anyone to leave the national team with bitterness. He stated.
Ayew, who has been a key figure for Ghana’s national team for years, has faced increasing scrutiny over his form and role in the squad. While some have called for a transition to younger players, others argue that his experience and leadership remain crucial.
Agyemang-Badu’s remarks highlight the importance of a respectful and voluntary transition for national team players, ensuring that they leave on good terms rather than under pressure.
