Super Eagles forward, Ahmed Musa, has explained the reason behind his move to Saudi Arabia side Al Nassr from Premier League outfit Leicester City.
Musa moved to the Middle East in a deal reportedly worth over £18m shortly after his exploits with Nigeria at the World Cup, where he scored twice in three games for Nigeria as they crash out at the group stage.
The 25-year-old was reportedly assured of a spot in the team this season and it came as a surprise when he jumped on a big money move to Saudi Arabia.
However, the former Kano Pillars man claims the Foxes let him go for the money.
” I wanted to stay in England because that has been my dream for years but what will you do when you’re told a bid has been accepted for you? I had to move to where I know I will be celebrated “, Musa said.
“Talks have been on about how I moved for the money but nobody has considered the fact that Leicester City also sold me for the money. Transfers can only happen if both parties agree to it and that was my case.”
