Former Ghana youth star, Clifford Aboagye, shares that he holds no regrets about joining Udinese, despite facing challenges during his time with the Italian Serie A club.
Aboagye, who attracted attention after his performance in the 2013 FIFA U20 World Cup, had committed to Udinese before the tournament, limiting his options afterward.
Speaking on Linus Siaw Nartey’s YouTube channel, he explained, “A lot of people didn’t know; I have signed for Udinese before the U20 World Cup so I didn’t have any choice. After the World Cup, a lot of clubs came after me but since I signed for Udinese at a tender age I needed to join them and see what’s next”
“The Italian football wasn’t my type of game so I went to Udinese and they looked at the best option for me and they said the Spanish football will be good for me. Who wouldn’t sign for Udinese at a very young age? So I had that opportunity and had to take it. I wouldn’t say I regret or made a bad decision joining Udinese, it’s part of the process” he added.
Aboagye, since leaving Udinese, has embarked on a career journey with spells in Spain and Mexico, playing for clubs like Granada, Atlas, Querétaro, Tijuana, and Puebla.
