After an impressive display at the 2023 African Cup of Nations, Nwabali courted interests from PSL side Kaizer Chiefs, Queens Park Rangers and clubs from the Saudi Pro League.

Chippa United recently confirmed that they had received over 10 offers for the former Enyimba FC goalkeeper.

Despite drawing interests from several clubs, the Super Eagles shot stopper, extended his stay at the club, penning a new three-year deal with the Chilli Boys.

In a latest development, the club’s CEO has revealed that the 28-year-old did not join Kaizer Chiefs because the PSL side couldn’t table the right offer to match his value.

“It was never about the price, there were two teams who were interested, one of them was AmaZulu, but they were offering peanuts,” Mpengesi told KickOff as per Soccernet.ng.

“There were talks that we had with Kaizer Chiefs before the end of the season. But then we saw Kaizer Chiefs signing another goalkeeper. For Kaizer Chiefs, we were even gonna give them, and the price was not even that high. We were more looking at the interest of the player you know, he was going to play for a big club, because I mean AmaZulu and Chippa are almost the same WhatsApp group, and you still get peanuts.”

“In their judgment, the Galaxy keeper is better than our keeper, which is something where I’m sitting, I dispute, but that’s water under the bridge. It has nothing to do with value, any offer we would have taken into consideration, but I mean what AmaZulu were offering was peanuts; they wanted us to give them Nwabali and Eva Nga for peanuts. That was a disrespect,” Mpengesi concluded.▶For. More. READ. THE FULL. STORY.▶▶
