Relegated German Bundesliga side Paderborn says it will cost €10 million to secure the service of Nigeria international left back Jamilu Collins.
The 26 year old is keen on a move away following the relegation of Paderborn but interested teams have been put off by Cologne’s asking price.
Werder Bremen were the front runners for his signature but there interest has gone cold largely due to the asking price of Paderborn despite the fact that they have signed his replacement.
23 year old German-Nigerian defender Chima Okoroji has joined them on loan from Freiburg as they brace up for the exit of the Nigerian who made 30 appearances and scored once last season.
The hard stance of Paderborn is a surprise considering the fact that he has just one year left on his deal and will be free to negotiate with other teams in six months time ahead of a move as a free agent.
