Iñaki Williams considering Ghana retirement

A source close to the 32-year-old confirmed he is actively considering bringing his four-year stint with the national team to a close, with a formal announcement expected shortly, according to Ghanasoccernet.

Williams completed his nationality switch in 2022, becoming eligible to represent the country of his parents at the senior level.

He marked the move with his Ghana debut in June of that year, stepping onto the international stage with considerable fanfare and high expectations from supporters.

Williams' Black Stars career in retrospect

Since pulling on the Black Stars jersey for the first time, Williams has earned 28 caps and scored twice for Ghana, according to Transfermarkt.

His international career covered three major tournaments: the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d'Ivoire, and Ghana's 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.

While his club form at Athletic Bilbao has consistently impressed, Williams struggled to replicate that output at international level.

Averaging 0.07 goals per game, or roughly 1 goal every 14 games left, many supporters questioning whether the forward ever truly found his rhythm in the Black Stars system.

What Iñaki's potential departure means for Ghana

Williams arrived with the promise of a player who had been attracting interest from the Spanish national team, and his decision to choose Ghana was widely celebrated as a significant coup.

Should he confirm his retirement from international football, it would mark the end of a chapter that began with enormous optimism but ultimately left questions about whether he delivered on his full potential in a Black Stars shirt.

Further details about the reasoning behind his decision are expected to emerge once the official announcement is made.
