In these days, the Viareggio Cup 2024 is taking place, which currently sees four African teams in the semifinals. As always, the event is an excellent showcase for some lesser-known club players to showcase themselves, and occasionally someone manages to make the big leap.
In this edition, in particular, there is a young player who seems to have attracted the interest of several big clubs, as relayed by Soccernet.ng, Milan and Inter are said to have their eyes on the young Hafiz Umar Ibrahim, striker for Ojodu City FC.
Fiorentina and Sassuolo, however, in Italy are also reportedly tracking him, while abroad, Braga and Porto have identified him as a possible market reinforcement.
His agents are proposing him for a fee between 500,000 and 700,000 euros.
Initially, teams from Eastern Europe and the Serie D were the first to show interest in the 18-year-old after Ojodu City’s first two matches. His agents decided against committing to their trial requests, preferring to wait till the end of the tournament.
The Nigerian striker stands at 190 centimetres tall and has impressive physical skills. He is regarded as a strong player with a potential for an important future. Let's see if he will end up at Milanello.
