Iheanacho's Dad places a N207m signing tag as European clubs scramble for him

A mad scramble for Iheanacho caused at least seven agents to meet at the team's hotel in the UAE to finally agree that all of them will get a percentage of the player's transfer fee as they all have authentic mandates given to them by his handlers.
"Kelechi's father has said his boy will go for nothing less than a million Euros and to add to all these,
at least seven agents have mandates for the boy," a top source said.
"Such was a chaos that these agents had to come together in Dubai and agreed that whoever gets to
finally sell the boy, all the other agents will also be entitled to a percentage of this sale."
The player himself told MTNFotball.com he is unaware of the offers that have poured in for him since his heroics in the UAE.
"I am not aware of offers coming my way yet but my aim is to go and further my career in Europe," he said.
"I am very grateful to God for giving me the opportunity to showcase my skills on an international stage. Words are not enough to express my joy."
He further said his dream club is FC Barcelona.

"I cannot pick a club or country now but my preferred club is Barcelona but I know that I cannot play for them now at this age but someday I may get that opportunity," he said.
However, British work permit law demands that any player moving to England must have been involved in at least 75% of the full international matches played by his country the previous year.
What this means is that both Iheanacho and Mohammed may likely not get a direct move to England,
but may be acquired and shipped to another country to get the desired experience.
Arsenal are known to do this with players from Ivory Coast, as they place them in Belgian and Dutch teams to get European experience, before bringing them to the Premiership.
John Obi Mikel and Michael Essien were both blocked from signing for Premiership teams as teenagers, and both ended up costing Chelsea a combined fee of £40m.
