Esperance and Étoile Sportive du Sahel are aware of Obioma’s valuation, the duo have not made official bids to the Nigerian champions but have held discussions with the player’s intermediaries.

The striker wants to embark on a new chapter in his career, despite the possibility of playing in the group stage of the CAF Champions League should he remain at Enyimba for the 2023-2024 campaign.

Obioma is represented by Nigerian agent Samuel Ogbah of Activity Chambers.
