Rivers United FC has rebuffed Supersport United’s bid of 225 million Naira for Andy Okpe, signalling a firm stance on their valuation of the 23-year-old goal-scoring sensation.
Okpe, who attracted interest from the South African giants following his impressive performances, was slated to finalize a move this summer.
However, negotiations have hit a snag as Rivers United reportedly seeks a substantial sum of 2 billion Naira to part ways with their prized asset.
Known for his prolific scoring abilities, Okpe has garnered attention for his prowess in front of goal, making him a coveted target in the transfer market.
The standoff over Okpe’s transfer draws attention to Rivers United’s resolve to command a premium fee for the talented striker, whose goal-scoring exploits have garnered domestically and abroad acclaim.
As discussions continue, the football world awaits further developments on whether Supersport United will meet Rivers United’s lofty asking price to secure the services of the promising Nigerian forward.
