Following his release by Chinese side Tianjin Teda, 30 year old Nigerian striker Brown Ideye could miss out on a chance to relaunch his career due to his wage demand which has so far stalled his move to Turkish side Trabzonspor.
Ideye’s agent reportedly met with the president of the Turkish team who are willing to pay the former West Brom record signing an annual fee of €2m on a three years deal but his agent want a yearly salary of €5m.
The impasse has held up the move which would have seen him reunite with the Nigerian duo of Ogenyi Onazi and Anthony Nwakaeme at the club that once had Taiye Taiwo on their books.
It is believed that the move could be off due to the disagreement although he could yet move to another Turkish team when the transfer window opens in the summer according to sources close to the player.
His move to China from Greek side Olympiakos didn’t go as planned as he was banished to the reserve team of the club before his eventual release by the club after a not too productive loan spell with relegated Spanish side Malaga.
