As first reported by OGN, Everton star man Alex Iwobi isn’t keen on extending his stay at the club with as many as six teams around Europe looking at making a bid for him in the summer transfer window.
Iwobi has been one of the standout players for Everton who are facing a huge battle to remain in the English Premier League as they are presently in 18th position although goal difference is what separates them from 17th placed Leicester City.
However, the decision to leave the team isn’t what was arrived at in the past few weeks with OGN reporting in October that already talks are advanced with a team playing in Ligue 1. The team is said to be a perennial campaigner in the UEFA Champions League.
Everton have been told by the camp of the player to hold on over talks of an extension but the idea is to let the club know at the end of the season that he is leaving. They hope to reach an amicable agreement on his exit.
For now his preference is a Ligue 1 team in the Champions League as he feels his next move might be his last big career move and he want to play in Europe’s premier club competition, he could be tempted to remain in the England.
We gathered he has received offers from some mid table teams in England, who are on the path of reaching the Champions League in few years time. There is also the chance of playing for a German team with less salary but the lure of playing in the Champions League gives them an edge.
