Ex-Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu has ruled out a return to the Ghana Premier as he hints on a return to Europe.

Badu has been clubless since parting ways with Italian Serie A side Hellas Verona.

The midfielder was recently linked with a return to the Ghana Premier League with Asante Kotoko been his likely destination.

But in an interview with Hello FM,  Badu promised to play for the club before he retires but he is not considering that option at this moment.

”I have said many times that I will definitely return to Kotoko before I finally retire from football but the truth is that for now, I am not ready to make a return to the Ghana Premier League”,

”I am currently waiting for some deals and hopefully soon I will be back in Europe to continue my career.”, he added.

Agyemang Badu was part of the Black Satellites team in 2009 that won the FIFA U20 World Cup in Egypt.

He announced his retirement from the Black Stars earlier this year.

The 30-year-old made his debut for the Black Stars in June 2008 against Lesotho and he went on to make 78 appearances for his country and netted 11 goals in the process.
