transfer to Manchester City because he will only get cash in January
2015.
On signing for the English Premier League millionaires, Iheanacho is
to get 250,000 pounds, his father will pocket 350,000 pounds, while
the Taye Academy in Owerri will receive 300,000 pounds.
According to m tnfootball.com, the most valuable player of the recent
U-17 World Cup in the UAE signed a contract with City at the weekend
after passed a medical in Madrid, Spain, with City chief scout Gary
Worthington in attendance.
However, both he and his father, James Iheanacho, who accompanied him
to Spain, were shocked to learn that they will not be paid any cash by
the EPL side till January 2015, when the youngster would have clocked
18.
This has now forced the Iheanachos to explore the possibilities of the
boy opting for Portuguese champions FC Porto, who have also tabled an
offer for him and were at a time favourites to land the
highly-promising forward. His mentor at Taye Academy, Kennedy
Echenwere, said the Eaglets star is currently in Lagos and has decided
to follow his heart and join FC Porto.
"Kelechi is in Lagos now, he has decided to join FC Porto and not
Manchester city," Echenwere told Brila FM on Tuesday.
Iheanacho senior said the family are still trying to persuade the
youngster to join Manchester City.
Several efforts to reach the player on phone were unsuccessful as he
did not pick up his call.
FC Porto seems the wise choice cos Manchester City have big names and Iheanacho will likely spend most of his playing time on the bench.
