One of the most famous Nigerian football players,
Ighalo Bumper just got an impressive offer from Shanghai Shenhua to return to
his former team and leave Manchester United behind.
According to the sources
close to the player, the Chinese team is offering about $400,000
per week deal to the Nigerian Player. And while most would expect
this kind of money to make the decision easier it seems like Odion Ighalo is
not ready to leave his dream team and wants to stay right where he is. As the
player shared with the press, he has always dreamed of playing at Manchester
United, even as a kid just dreaming about his future in the football scene.
While it may seem odd to see such a big number of
salaries for football players, the truth is that the industry has been growing
rapidly over the last 10 years. While the sport was always extremely popular,
probably the most popular post in the world now we also have the betting venues
and casinos that are also involved in this business. The bumper is one of the
most famous football players in the world, way past Nigeria and China even.
The
whole world is familiar with his work and the player is also adored in Europe,
specifically Germany. German people love international football and the country
has a lot of ways to make sure that the local fans can engage with their
favorite interventional favorites.
The most popular way for fans to be more
engaged with their favorite sports is actually betting, which is also Germany’s
favorite way to participate in some way in the games that they don’t attend
personally. For that reason, we’ve seen a surge in new casino games platforms that offer users to bet
on international games, making the sport more enjoyable and engaging for the
fans everywhere.
The bumper at Manchester United
Ighalo had no problem getting comfortable at
Manchester United and quickly became one of the favorites. During his first
breakout season in 2016, during the Premier League playing with Watford, he
also received a similar offer. People have been trying to get Bumper on their
team for ages, so at this point, the Nigerian player knows how to negotiate.
The previous offer was coming from a Chinese club, Hebei China Fortune. But for
Ighalo Bumper its not just about the money. As the player himself admitted,
after rejecting the offer for the first time the Chinese club offered the
higher number to the player hoping to help him make up his mind by offering an even
better salary. But as the player has said his heart lies with Manchester
United, where he sees his future more clearly.
Even his teammates ready to let him go after they
heard that Bumper would get paid as much as the Shanghai Shenhua was offering
to and he went through a lot of turmoil to make the decision and follow his
heart. But in the end, he decided to
choose the team that he grew up adoring and stayed in Manchester United, much
to the disappointment of Shanghai Shenhua.
Some might think that his decision had too much
to do with the emotions and that he will regret the decision after but it is
also noteworthy that Ighalo Bumper will be signing a permanents deal with
Manchester United once his original six-month loan deal expires. The existing contract
that is binding him to the group expires in December 2022 and Shanghai wants to
keep Bumper on their team till at least December 2024.
Highest Paid African Football player?
We don’t know yet if Ighalo will accept the
offer, but knowing that for him even offer that would grant him $10 million
aren’t enough to leave his favorite team behind, it’s not easy to be confident
about the answer.
The Nigerian player
was also affected by the Coronavirus, but only because the outbreak caused the
Premier League to gt postponed only giving the Nigerian player 8 appearances.
But he has already established himself as one of the talented players that is
also loved by all of his teammates and is valued at the club.
Regardless of
what decision the player makes we know that he would prioritize his career and
growth opportunities, not just eh money. But it was to accept this offer it
ould make Ighalo Bumper the highest-paid African football players in the
world.
