Ahmed Musa set to join Turkish club this week!

Ahmed Musa is in line to make a departure from Kano Pillars in Nigeria so as to complete his summer transfer to a club-side in the Turkish Super Lig in the new week.

Complete Sports had exclusively reported last month that a Turkish Super Lig club offered Musa a mouth-watering one-year deal that is worth €2.2m (1.05 billion naira).

According to an American-based agent, Justus who failed to disclose the identity of the Turkish outfit, “the club first offered Musa €2m a year but he turned it down.

“The president of the club said that they could not go above that amount due to the coronavirus-induced financial problems every club in Europe is facing,” Justus told CS.

However, the club’s president has said that they are desperate to have Musa on their pay-roll next season and have come back with a final offer of €2.2m a year,” he said.

But it appears Musa has finally reached an agreement with the Turkish side and the 28-year-old attacker will travel to the European country this new week to sign the deal.

Super Eagles captain, Musa on April 13 sensationally made his return to Kano Pillars for the reminder of the 2020/21 Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) season.

Amongst the contractual agreement reached between Musa who left Al Nassr in October and Pillars is that anytime he receives any offer from abroad, he would be released.
