Fenerbahce have scared off suitors for once - upon - a - time Nigeria international Joseph Yobo who are interested in his services by slapping a 1.5 million Euros price tag on the central defender.

SL10.ng says the 33 - year - old has been declared surplus to requirement at the Super Lig champions, but they are hoping to recoup some of their previous investment on the player, who earns approximately €2 million every year.

The former Super Eagles skipper proved to Doubting Thomases during the World Cup that his legs are not tired, starting three matches at the showpiece event.

The Nigerian edition of Soccer Laduma has suggested that teams in England and Turkey are monitoring the transfer situation of the stopper.

But they have been put off by the valuation of the player who has no resale value and commands enormous wages.

Joseph Yobo has been frozen out of first team training by manager ä°smail Kartal, and is practicing with the reserve squad.
