Sonia Adesuwa is married to the forward with three children from the union, but all has not been well between them the past few years with Sonia reverting to her maiden surname Adesuwa last year.

She reverted to it after shading the striker who was then mourning his late elder sister. A move which sparked talks of a likely separation between the couples but legally they are still married.

She claimed he now has five children with two from relationships that happened after their marriage mockingly calling him father Abraham.

“ Congrats Ighalo on the arrival of ur baby (Feb). I just de received court email now Lmao. We don many Ah Father Abraham”, she posted on her Instagram story.

“ Still one legally married wife. 2babymamas, 5 kids and some slay queens still de fight to enter. Y’ALL DE MENT. Adesuwa baby you are doing well”.

She went further to reply someone who said she is pained by saying she is by law his only legal wife and can decide to take everything inferring a divorce settlement owing to the fact that they were married in Europe.

“ This ones are saying I am pained. Y’all are MADD. NA WE STILL DE RULE. #Legallymarriedineurope. If I decide to take everything today nothing de happen. Congratulate the new Dad and fuck off. Tell Papa to pay his baby mama child support. She took him to court”.

According to L’Equipe French authorities are investigating the true worth of the €81.3 million transfer of Victor Osimhen from Lille to Napoli.

Question marks surrounds the true worth of the deal which was recorded as a transfer of €81.3 million but Lille only got a profit under €10 million. A situation which made the new owners of the team to raise eyebrows.

Callisto Sporting, a subsidiary of Luxembourg based investment fund bought the club from former owner Gerard Lopez in December 2020 and discovered some grey areas in the transfer of Osimhen.

Although the fee will be paid in installments and that probably explains the lack of profit in the first year of the deal which many said is worth €40 million in cash with €10 million to be paid in bonuses.

The extra €30m was made up from player sales, as Napoli handed veteran goalkeeper Orestis Karnezis, plus youth team players Claudio Manzi, Ciro Palmieri and Luigi Liguori over to Lille.

However, the youth players never actually represented Lille, as Manzi and Palmieri were immediately loaned to Fermana in Serie C.

So was Liguori, but he moved again on loan to Lecco in February.

Playing in the third division, one wonders how these three combined to be worth €30m.
