EX SOCCER STAR, SEYI OLOFINJANA ENTANGLED IN THE DUBIOUS TRANSFER OF TEENAGE HOTSHOT, TAIWO AWONIYI TO DIFFERENT CLUBS


Former Super Eagles player Seyi Olofinjana is at the moment caught in the web of negotiating deal of one player to different clubsides in Europe and as it is he is in the bad books of one of Europe top  football clubs for the shady and multiple transaction  

This is how Allnigeriasoccer.com reported the development: Seyi Olofinjana, the owner of Imperial Soccer Academy, may be arrested by the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) as he has plans to dupe several European clubs not limited to Liverpool, Monaco, Kalmar and Porto in a transfer deal. In 2014, Seyi Olofinjana traveled all the way to Sweden with Flying Eagles attacker Taiwo Awoniyi to pen a pre - contract with Kalmar, which will become activated about three weeks from now when the player ‘OFFICIALLY’ clocks 18.

After displaying his wares at the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, Awoniyi was linked with moves to several clubs across Europe, as you would expect, including Benfica, who firmed up their interest by inviting for trials. But the Portuguese club later turned down the opportunity to sign the Nigeria youth - teamer.

After Awoniyi was snubbed by Benfica and other European clubs, he was later recommended to Kalmar by one of their trusted scouts and the Swedish club took a gamble by offering the greenhorn a preliminary contract. In theory, transfer fees are not paid for the signing of young footballers from Africa but Kalmar’s Sporting Director, Thomas Andersson, offered to pay Seyi Olofinjana the sum of 150,000 euros, of which 16.67 percent of that figure or €25,000 has been wired to the former Hull City and Stoke City midfielder while the balance will be paid in full when the contract is signed.

It is also confirmed beyond reasonable doubt that Taiwo Awoniyi’s bank account was credited with the sum of =N=500,000 (equivalent of $2,000 ) by a representative of Kalmar in November 2014 after complaining he was broke. It is strange that Awoniyi will be allowed to operate a bank account as financial institutions in Nigeria do not enter into fiduciary relationships with minors.

Seyi Olofinjana is aware that Awoniyi’s stock has risen due to his performances at the African Youth Championship and the Dream Team VI, and he is now claiming that the contract he signed with Kalmar is not valid, with the hope of offering the player to the highest bidder.

Kalmar suits are monitoring what is happening in Africa with keen interest and they have engaged the services of a lawyer to bring Olofinjana to justice if he does not honour the contract the parties signed a year ago.
