Chinese Club Make Offer Of N5.2B To Nantes For Super Eagles Winger Simon

Published: April 24, 2020

French Ligue 1 club Nantes have received an offer worth 12 million euros (N5.2 billion) from an unnamed Chinese club for the services of Moses Simon, according to Spanish sports daily AS making reference to Eurosport France.

The Nigeria international is having a breakout season at Nantes, whom he joined on a season-long loan deal from Levante last August.

Nantes will be obligated to buy Simon outright if he scores one more goal for the club before the end of this season as there are two conditions that would trigger the purchase clause set at five million euros, scoring 10 goals in all competitions and he has to play a minimum of 25 games.

The 24-year-old has already triggered the games-based clause with 30 appearances and has nine goals to his name with eight assists to go with it.

It has been suggested that The Canaries are planning to activate the purchase clause whether or not the Super Eagles star achieves the 10-goal target, before selling him to the Chinese club for a tidy profit.

The former Ajax Amsterdam trialist is under contract with Levante until June 30, 2023.
