The transfer window has started in earnest for several players from different countries across Europe and players of the senior national team of Nigeria are not left out of the business of trying to switch clubs before the end of the window.
One of the highly sought after player is Savior Godwin of Portuguese side Casa Pia. He has caught the attention of top teams around the world with a strong showing so far in the Portuguese top division, a follow up to the form that earned him the most valuable player of the second division last season.
Casa Pia are open to letting the winger leave but are holding out for a fee that will meet the valuation of Godwin, who is one of their key players as they bid to remain in the top division following promotion last season.
Already their resolve has been tested with a bid from Hoffenheim but the move broke down as both teams failed to agree on a transfer fee even though the player already agreed personal terms. Now Brazilian side Corinthians have also failed with a bid.
Corinthians made a bid of €1.5m but the offer was flatly rejected as Casa Pia are holding out for a fee in the region of €4m and possibly rising to €5m with several add ons. Talks have broken down between the parties involved and a new bid isn’t expected.
