The much talked about transfer of Nigeria U17 captain Samson Tijani to Belgium side Club Brugge won’t be happening, Owngoalnigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Tijani was billed to join the Belgium team after the U17 Africa Cup of Nations which is the qualifiers for the World Youth Championship but the move suffered a set back due to uncertainty over his true representative.
He impressed the scouts of Club Brugge during the WAFU B U17 Championship in Niger Republic and contacts was made with his local team in Nigeria, which further strengthened the chances of the deal happening.
However it was called off after it was discovered that the 16 year old signed representative contracts with two other agents outside the one who brought the Club Brugge deal according to a source who is in the know about the deal.
” The deal is off. Tijani and the guys who brought the Club Brugge deal are no longer working. They called off their relationship with him after discovering that he has signed representative contracts with two other agency. It’s sad but it’s the reality “, he told Owngoalnigeria.com.
