Newly signed Muruka Sports FC defender Abdul Jalilu has stated his desire to use football as a bait to ensuring financial stability to his family not necessarily for personal goals.
After signing for his new Rwandan side, the former Dreams FC captain needed a new challenge and environment to test his abilities as a players to help him achieve his aim of putting food on the table for his family.
As many footballers will aim at winning the highest accolade in football, the center half has a different purpose of using the game to change the life of his dependants.
"I am not playing football to win Balloon D'or or World Best. 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.
"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," he told Akoma FM.
Abdul Jalilu led Dreams FC to the semi finals of the 2023/24 CAF Confederations Cup where they got eliminated by FC Zamalek by 3-0 on aggregate.
