Enyimba place N216 million price tag on Ozornwafor
Nigeria Professional Football League club, Enyimba, has placed a 216 million Naira ($600,000) price tag on Flying Eagles star defender Valentine Ozornwafor.
Clubs in Europe are bidding $300,000 maximum for the promising central defender.
“Valentine could long have signed for a club in Europe, but the stumbling block is Enyimba asking price – they want $600,000 for the boy,” a source told Sorenigeria.
“The highest that has so far been offered for the player is something around $300,000.”
Ozornwafor has only played a handful of official games for Enyimba since he made his debut for the Aba club earlier this season.
He was outstanding in the heart of the back four at the recent U20 AFCON in Niger, where he was named on the Tournament XI.
He has also been capped by the Nigeria U23s and was called up to the Super Eagles for a 2019 AFCON qualifier against Seychelles in Asaba in March.
Flying Eagles skipper Ikouwem Udoh, who also plays for Enyimba, has already signed for Israeli club Maccabi Haifa after undergoing a routine medical.
