Super Eagles’s Stanley Nwabali in advanced talks with Saudi club
Nigeria international goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is in advanced negotiations to join an unnamed Saudi Arabian club, potentially ending his four-month spell as a free agent following his departure from Chippa United.
Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali is on the verge of a major career breakthrough, with advanced negotiations underway over a transfer to an undisclosed Saudi Arabian club.
The 30-year-old shot-stopper has been unattached since prematurely terminating his contract with South African outfit Chippa United in February.
This prolonged period of club inactivity ultimately cost Nwabali his starting position within the Nigerian national team.
The lucrative move to the Middle East would mark the goalkeeper’s very first professional stint outside the African continent.
Representatives indicate that the Saudi suitors were highly impressed by Nwabali’s international pedigree and back-to-back Africa Cup of Nations experiences.
Former national team captain William Troost-Ekong recently lamented the player’s risky contract termination, but a finalized deal could revitalize his career this week.
