Exclusive: Southampton Failed In Approach To Sign Ahmed Musa Before Capture Of Charlie Austin
Published: January 30, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that English Premier League club Southampton attempted to sign Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow in the January transfer window but were put off by the striker’s asking price.
It is no secret that The Saints were in the market for a frontman in the winter transfer market and announced the capture of Charlie Austin from Queens Park Rangers two weeks ago for a cut-price £4 million fee.
During negotiations with representatives of Musa, Southampton admitted that they had limited funds available in their transfer kitty and offered to acquire the Super Eagles skipper for 10 million euros (or approximately £7.5 million ), an amount deemed insufficient by CSKA Moscow.
Churchill Oliseh, the elder brother of Super Eagles manager Sunday Oliseh, was giving the task of convincing the Nigeria international to accept the proposal from Southampton if they had met his valuation.
Musa,23, has been linked with a possible move to Leicester City before the market closes while Manchester United have unofficially approached his United Kingdom - based agency, it has been claimed.
