Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Skënderbeu Korçë midfielder Nurudeen Orelesi is in advanced discussions with Metallurg Zaporizhzhya over a deal before the close of the transfer market.

But there are significant stumbling blocks in the negotiations, as the bid from Ukrainian club was far below the market value of the former Flying Eagles wing-back.

The powers that be at Skënderbeu Korçë know this is the last opportunity to cash in on their prized jewel or technically he will become a free agent in January and will leave for nothing next summer.

Nurudeen Orelesi is desperate to leave the back - to - back Albanian champions this summer.

And it is thought he traveled to Ukraine to discuss personal terms without the permission of his current employer, though this has been denied by him in statements made to this website.

Regarded as one of the best foreign players to grace the Superliga, Skënderbeu Korçë are hoping to sell him to an interested suitor for $100,000, more or less the same figure he earns as salary every year at the club.

The 25 - year - old has been on the payroll of the Snow Whites since 2011.
