Exclusive : Thai Club Nakhon Ratchasima Beat Aalesund To Marco Tagbajumi Signature

Thai Premier League club Nakhon Ratchasima have won the race for the signature of Marco Tagbajumi, ahead of Norwegian Tippeligaen side Aalesund, who had attempted to snatch the striker from under their noses.

In transfer market parlance, Tagbajumi’s deal with Nakhon Ratchasima is 95 percent completed, with the player already appending his signature to a 1+1 year deal, but the paperwork has not been sent.

“Strømsgodset and I didn’t agree on a contract so it ended with the loan, ” says Tagbajumi to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Then Aalesund were interested but they came with a offer to late. By then I already accepted an offer from Thailand.

“I have already signed for Nakhon Ratchasima, just waiting for all the papers to go trough and it should be official soon.”

Before now, the 27 - year - old has spent all his career in Europe, representing teams in Portugal, Cyprus and Norway.
