Salernitana Rekindles Interest in Terem Igobor Moffi
Salernitana, the Italian football club, has reportedly renewed its interest in Terem Igobor Moffi, the talented Nigerian forward who caught the attention of their scouts last summer. According to Sporty9ja, Moffi was initially on Salernitana’s wishlist alongside Boulaye Dia. However, the club could only secure a loan deal for Dia from Villarreal.
Now, Salernitana is considering the potential partnership between Moffi and Dia or looking for a replacement if Dia returns to Spain. Moffi had an impressive season playing for Lorient and later on loan for OGC Nice. He showcased his abilities and made a significant impact by scoring 18 goals in Ligue 1 matches and an additional three goals in the Conference League.
Moffi’s remarkable performance earned him praise and admiration, and he even received the Goal of the Season award in the Conference League. Interestingly, the Super Eagles striker surpassed the goal tally of renowned football stars such as Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez, and Neymar in the recently concluded Ligue 1 season.
While the chances of Moffi leaving OGC Nice are slim due to the club’s obligation to make his move permanent, Salernitana is closely monitoring the situation. Negotiations between Nice and Moffi are ongoing, as reported by TuttoSalernitana.
In the unlikely event of a breakdown in talks, Salernitana is considering striking a deal with Lorient. This deal may involve a cash-plus-player swap, potentially including Boulaye Dia. Alternatively, there is also discussion about a loan arrangement with an obligation to buy.
It is worth noting that Moffi’s commitment to staying in France led him to reject offers from several Italian and English clubs during the January transfer window. However, with Salernitana’s renewed interest, Moffi’s future may take an interesting turn. Football fans will eagerly await the outcome of the negotiations and whether Moffi will make a move to the Italian club.
