AC Milan Product Oduamadi Offered To These Five Clubs Before Summer Move To Tirana

Published: September 18, 2018

AC Milan product Nnamdi Oduamadi was offered to at least five clubs before transferring to Albanian Superliga side KF Tirana two weeks ago, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

The Nigeria international ended his nine-year association with the Rossoneri at the end of the 2017-2018 season but would have remained in Italy if he wanted to.

Oduamadi was offered to Crotone, where he spent the first half of the 2014-15 season on loan, and Livorno.

Aside from the unnamed American and Turkish clubs his representatives held talks with, Kazakhstani sides Kairat Almaty, Irtysh Pavlodar and Aktobe had explored the possibility of signing the striker.

Oduamadi was farmed out on loan to Torino, Varese, Brescia and HJK Helsinki in his last seven years with AC Milan as he was unable to break into their first team.

His only first-team appearance for Milan was against Catania back in the 2010-2011 season.

Oduamadi's move to Tirana was able to go through because their coach, Zé Maria, is a former AC Milan player. The Nigerian has a contract with his new employer until the end of the 2018-19 season.
