NIGERIA international Sunday Mba could have signed himself into modern slavery in France with his celebrated deal with CA Bastia but for the quick intervention of his club in Nigeria, Warri Wolves.
The deal which was aborted at the last minute according to a top shot in Delta State running Warri Wolves, Chief Amaju Pinnick when it was discovered that Mba will be at the mercy of the club in case of any eventuality.
“The deal is not favourable to Mba at all because it stipulated that should he be injured for four months, the deal will be terminated. His annual salary according to the contract is 100,000 euros which is not up to what he earns at Warri Wolves.
"There is also a terrible clause in the contract that states that should the club be relegated, the contract will also be terminated. Is Mba a magician? So, if he is playing alongside 10 bad players and the team go down, should he take the responsibility for the dismal performance when he is not the coach of the team,?” Pinnick who is the Chairman of Delta State Sports Commission queried.
However, the deal was said to be turned down by Wolves as the transfer fee of 250,000 euros on Mba will be paid in instalments till 2015.
The 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) winner is already in Calabar in preparation for the Super Eagles World Cup qualifier against The Flames of Malawi this weekend.
