Top division Belgium side, Union SG has tabled an offer for the signing of Nigeria international goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali when the transfer market opens in January, reports owngoalnigeria.
Nwabali starred for Nigeria at the AFCON where they went all the way to the final of the tournament before losing to the host, Cote d’Ivoire.
He was widely expected to leave South Africa Premier League side, Chipa United in the summer on the back of his performance at the tournament.
However, that move didn’t work and stayed behind to sign an extension, and was rewarded for his loyalty with the captain armband but he could be on the move in January, according to reports in South Africa.

“The Belgian club has made offer. Now, money will decide his move. You know, Chippa United has valued him at R40 million, and currently we are unsure what Royale Union has offered. They desperately need a goalkeeper ahead of January. They were nit performing well in the league when they expressed their desire to sign as soon as possible, but it all depends on whether Royale Union’s offer meets Chippa’s demands. The offer is there, and they really need him,” a source revealed to the Siya crew.
A source close to the deal according to the publication hinted that since Kaizer Chiefs now have a new shop stopper in Fiacre Ntwari and Orlando Pirates have moved on from wanting to sign the Nigerian, a move to Europa is his only option at the moment.
“This is the only chance for him to move. Chiefs aren’t signing him, neither are Pirates. This leaves him with the opportunity to move to Europe. Royale Union has reportedly tabled an offer. It’s now up to Chippa United to agree on the offer or negotiate terms. But a local move seems highly unlikely at the moment,” the source observed.
