Ghanaian midfielder Richard Boateng is eyeing a move away from Spanish second-tier side Real Oviedo over limited game time, as reported by Ghanasoccernet.com.
Boateng, 26 has lost a starting role in the team and has been relegated to the bench duties so far this season.
He has featured in 10 league appearances out of 17 games and he is worried about the number of minutes.
In the last two months, the former Liberty Professionals player has played a total of 76 minutes.
Boateng made his senior debuts with Liberty Professionals FC, but moved to Spain in the 2010 summer, joining Granada CF's reserve team in the regional leagues. He was loaned to Cádiz CF, but only appeared with the B-side in Tercera División.
He moved to CD San Roque de Lepe in Segunda División B, also in a temporary deal; he appeared in 36 matches (2511 minutes of action), scoring two goals, but the Andalusians were relegated nonetheless. Upon returning he was assigned to Granada's B-side, now also in the third division.
On 28 February 2014 Boateng played his first match as a professional, coming on as a second-half substitute in a 0–4 La Liga loss at Athletic Bilbao. He spent the remainder of his spell with the B-side, however.
On 1 January 2017, after an unassuming spell at Aris Limassol FC, Boateng joined third-tier side Extremadura UD. On 3 August, he moved to fellow league team UD Melilla.
Boateng scored a career-best 14 goals for Melilla during his first campaign, including braces against Betis Deportivo Balompié, Córdoba CF B and former side Granada B. On 15 June 2018, he signed a two-year contract with Segunda División side Real Oviedo.
He joined Oviedo in the summer on a two-year deal where he scored 14 goals in 31 appearances in the league.
