“I know Osimhen would still like to play European football and achieve a lot, but the clause Napoli put on him and his wages are scaring clubs away. The clubs do not want to make a decision that will come back and make them regret,” the 41-year-old told Brila.
“Nigeria does not package their players well. If Osimhen were Brazilian, they (European top clubs) would have signed since. The way some Nigerians talk about their countrymen is not fair,” Obodo added.
“For me, it is left for Osimhen to compromise if he wants to stay in Europe or go to Al Hilal for the wages. Whatever decision he makes, we should just pray he does not make the wrong decision,” the ex-Super Eagles defensive midfielder concluded.
