Top division Belgium side Anderlecht will not follow up their interest in signing 21 year old Nigerian centre back Chibuike Nwaiwu from Austrian side Wolfsberger AC, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
The defender who had a very impressive debut campaign ended the season by helping his team win the Austrian Cup , and also played in 25 league games with two goals and own assist to his name.
He joined the team in September last year from Nigeria Premier Football League side Enyimba on a deal till 2027, but his stock has risen to high that the club have now revealed that he will likely leave when the summer transfer window opens.
Anderlecht tracked his progress all through the season but have now decided against moving in for him due to what they feel Wolfsberger AC will demand as transfer fee. Reports say it could be in excess of €5m, a fee considered too high for the Belgium side.
