Why Igoh Ogbu Rejected Big-Money Offers to Stay at Slavia Prague
Speaking exclusively to Footy-Africa, a source from Aneke Player Management Group, which represents Ogbu, confirmed the latest development:
“Igoh has recently signed a new deal with Slavia because the club values him highly, but at the same time, there have been positive talks with Hamburg regarding a loan move. Both parties are working towards a solution that benefits everyone, and we could see progress very soon. For Igoh, the Bundesliga would be an exciting new challenge.”
