After splashing cash on Bernard Bulbwa at the beginning of April,
Esperance is ready to bring out their cheque book again to sign another
Nigeria youth international, Taiwo Awoniyi.Daily Sunsports gathered that the two-time African champion has invited the striker, his father (Solomon Awoniyi), agent, the intermediary representing Esperance, and the coach of the nursery team that nurtured him, Razaq Olojo, to Tunis to conclude negotiations for the Flying Eagles star before the end of this month.
Meanwhile, a report by SL.10ng disclosed that Red Bull Salzburg, Olympiakos and RSC Anderlecht are also eyeing Awoniyi and the trio were in contact with his minders as early as Wednesday while Porto are planning a swoop as well.
Manchester United had courted the attacker, with one of their reps speaking directly with him, but the interest from Old Trafford has waned due to uncertainty surrounding his registration rights.
Regarding the 17-year-old’s ownership rights, there has been series of peace meetings between the Ilorin- based club and Seyi Olofinjana’s Imperial Soccer Academy since Monday, and all the stakeholders have decided to work in the interest of Taiwo Awoniyi and the country, with a new ownership-sharing agreement expected to be finalized yesterday.
