Captain of the senior national team of Nigeria Ahmed Musa has taken his desire of leaving Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr to another level after informing the management of the team that he wants to leave.
Musa made his stand known to the team two days back and was subsequently left out of the team that played in yesterday’s AFC Champions League game against Sepahan of Iran that ended 2-0 in favor of Al Nassr.
Reports has it that while Musa is keen on a return to Europe where some teams are indicated their interest in signing him on loan, Al Nassr want him to join another team in Saudi Arabia in Al Ahli.
The standoff can be seen in his game as the 27 years old has only scored twice this season. A sign of how unhappy he is at the Saudi Arabia side where he earns close to $300, 000 a week.
His representatives proposed terminating his contract which has two more years to run but it was outrightly rejected by the Saudi outfit. They are demanding a loan fee of €5 million plus having a team that will foot his wages totally.
Both parties are still in talks with Musa not shifting grounds on his desire to leave the team before the end of the ongoing transfer window in October. He is already back in Nigeria despite his team’s involvement in the AFC Champions League.
