Serbian side Partizan Belgrade have increased the amount clubs interested in Sadiq Umar must pay in order to land the striker in this transfer window.
Few days ago coach of the team Savo Milosevic said the club won’t settle for anything less than €20 million, which is €5 million more than what same coach said is the value of the player last month.
Monaco slapped in a bid for the 23 year old but their offer of €8 million with €2 million in add ons was outrightly rejected by the Serbian side.
It is believed their sudden reluctance to allow the player leave is linked to the fact that he is on the radar of the coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr.
Rohr reportedly spoke with coach of the Serbian side on the forward after his goal tally of 17 goals in 39 games made more impressive by the fact that he also has 17 assists from those games.
Partizan are capitalizing on his soon to be senior international player for Nigeria to demand for more money for the player they signed for around €1.75m in January on a permanent deal from Roma.
