MUMBAI: Ghanaian footballer
Randy Juan Muller
, who stayed at the Mumbai International Airport for 74 days due to non-availability of flights to go back home, is now looking for a club in Mumbai to play for.
The 23-year-old’s ordeal began on March 23, when the flight he was supposed to take to Kenya (en route
Ghana
) was cancelled due to the lockdown in the country. With nowhere to go and not a lot of money left, Muller decided that staying at the airport was his safest bet.
When Yuva Sena president Aaditya Thackeray was tagged in a tweet about Muller’s plight, he put Yuva Sena functionary Rahul Kanal on the job who booked a hotel room for him in Bandra.
Thackeray’s team has promised to take care of the expenses towards his flight back home, but Muller just wants to play
football
.
“I came here to earn money. I have to support a six-member family back home. In these past months, I’ve finished all my money. I don’t want to go home empty-handed. If I find a club here to play, I’ll stay,” Muller told TOI on Sunday.
