Sporting Braga To Hold Contract Talks With Elderson Echiejile

Sporting Braga will start negotiations with Nigeria international Elderson Echiejile over a new contract in the coming days, according to Portuguese sports daily A Bola.

The 25 - year - old had attracted huge interest from Besiktas in the last hours of the summer transfer window but the Archbishops refused to do business with their Turkish counterparts.

Aware that Echiejile can sign for a new team as early as January as his current deal expires in June 2014, the management of Sporting Braga wants to extend his stay at the AXA Stadium.

Though the Super Eagle has been reinstated in the squad, he was not named in the side that beat Estoril 3 - 2 last weekend.

Elderson Echiejile has been at Sporting Braga since the summer of 2010.
