The details of the Liverpool offer
are stated by Chidera’s agent.
A member of the world-conquering
Golden Eaglets, Chidera Eze, has
received offers from two English
Premier League sides, Liverpool and
Manchester City, PREMIUM TIMES can
reveal.
The attacker was a part of the
Nigerian U-17 side that emerged
World Champions at the FIFA
tournament held in the UAE.
The player, who had been linked to
clubs in the Portuguese league, is
now set to travel to Manchester City
with his family members for further
negotiations, according to his agent,
Babawo Mohammed.
“We have two clubs now interested
in him, one is Liverpool and two is
Manchester city but as I’m talking to
you right now Manchester city has
already sent their invitation letter
for him and his family to travel to
London.
“Manchester City’s deal was
brokered by a director at his
academy in Lagos, Shuttle FC,”
Mohammed told PREMIUM TIMES.
The agent also revealed that a
meeting was held with Liverpool FC
officials in Abuja some weeks ago;
and the club offered to put Chidera
in their U19 football squad till he
turns 18.
“Yes we discussed with Liverpool in
Abuja, they give us their terms.
Although we have not yet signed
with Liverpool, he (Chidera) is going
to Manchester city to see what they
want to offer so they can compare it
with Liverpool’s offer.
“Liverpool have offered him to sign
so that he can be with the U19 team
for one year, so after he turns 18 they
will promote him to the main team,”
the agent said.
He also explained the details of the
contract Liverpool offered the
teenager.
“There’s transfer fee and salaries and
other things, the offered to give
£500, 000 (N125 million) clearance
fee to his academy. They also offered
to go into partnership with the
academy, for business. They offered
to pay him £120, 000 (N30 million)
per year and will pay £150, 000 (N37.5
million) per year when he turns 18-
years-old,” he said.
Mohammed added that “Manchester
city has shown interest but have not
tabled their own offer.”
Chidera could not be reached as he
did not pick his calls.
Manchester City is also in pole
position to sign another member of
the Golden Eaglets, Kelechi
Iheanacho, whose father told the
media last week that the
negotiation with the English team
was at the final stage.
Kelechi was voted Most Valuable
Player, MVP, of the FIFA U17 World
Cup.

Two Nigerian players in Man City? I just hope their yansh don't get too flat for sitting too much.
