The forward, who was on international duty with Nigeria at the 2019 AFCON, was left out of the Midtjylland squad over the weekend. He reportedly forced a move costing the club about €5 million – the Danish club had held out for €12 million during initial negotiations.
Eventually, the €6 million could rise to €7 million through bonuses.
