However, his younger Nico is yet to decide on his international future, but GFA officials are optimistic he would also play for Ghana.
Inaki initially committed to Spain and appeared in one friendly match against Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2016 but has agreed to a nationality switch.
He previously played for Spain’s U-21 team, scoring three goals in 17 games.
Inaki has remarkably gone six years without missing a La Liga match which is a new record in Spain.
He had eight goals and provided five assists in the 2021-22 season for the Red and Blacks outfit.
