EXCLUSIVE: Nwabali transfer to Saudi Arabia collapses

SCORENigeria can report that Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali will not be moving to Saudi Arabia after Al Ittifaq pulled out of transfer negotiations with his South African Chippa United.

This followed long-drawn negotiations, which stretched the patience of the Saudis, SCORENigeria has further gathered.

The Dammam-based outfit are currently sixth in the Saudi Arabian top league with two rounds of matches to the end of the season.

They are a stable club even though they are yet to win any major trophy in the oil-rich kingdom.

It would have been a bumper pay day for both club and player had the transfer to Saudi Arabia sailed through.

However, Nwabali will still be expected to make a major transfer away from his Port Elizabeth club this month even though he still has two years left on his contract, it was further gathered.

It is understood he has two firm offers on the table and only the finer details are being worked out.

The 27-year-old shot stopper has been a wanted man since his five-star displays for the Super Eagles at the delayed 2023 AFCON in February.

He has gone on to underline his class back at his South African club to keep the interest of suitors from across the world.

He has posted 10 clean sheets in 25 PSL appearances this season after he only made six appearances last season.
