Agent Philip Otele, who recently made his debut for the Nigerian senior team, is not happy with the player’s current rating, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Otele spent last season on loan to German Bundesliga side Hamburg from Swiss side FC Basel. The Germans had the option of signing him permanently after the loan, but there have been no talks about it.
However, he is still interested in leaving the Swiss team before the close of the summer transfer window, but it will not be at the price he had at the start of the season.
His representative told us in an exclusive chat that Basel now values him much more than before, largely due to his debut for the Nigerian senior team over the summer.
He played five games for Nigeria during the break, including high-profile friendlies against Poland and Portugal respectively. The club now believes his fee should be higher.
There are teams that are already interested in his services, but it is feared that they will resist the current price.
