Atletico Madrid, Getafe, Porto, Liverpool Chase Awoniyi

Taiwo Awoniyi could be set to ply his trade in
the Spanish La Liga following enquiries from
two Spanish clubs, Atletico Madrid and Getafe.
But the U-23 Eagles star insists he will only
go for a club willing to give him playing time.
Completesportsnigeria.com has exclusively
scooped that Atleico, who won the league title
in 2013/2014, and mid-table Getafe have
expressed interest in the services of the
forward.
Awoniyi reportedly has a pre-contract
arrangement with Swedish side KK Kalmar but
that has not dissuaded clubs from expressing
interest in him.
Completesportsnigeria.com’s source who
scouts for an agency based in Greece
confirmed the readiness of the clubs to sign
Awoniyi.
“There is interest in Taiwo Awoniyi in Spain
but we need to get the permission of those
managing his interests,” the source told
completesportsnigeria.com.
“These are big clubs, one of them are really
one of the biggest Spanish clubs while the
other are not so big, plus yet another in
England,” Ifeanyi Igwemjoku, who worked in
brokering a deal for Taye Taiwo in Turkey
which the former Eagles left back rebuffed due
to the club being a second division side, told
Completesportsnigeria.com.
Awoniyi himself told Completesportsnigeria
exclusively: “My interest is to play regular
football. Money is good but if I don’t get
playing time now, that could be counter
productive.
“I am pleased that offers are coming my way
but I will not be in a hurry, God will direct
me.”
Liverpool and Porto are also credited with an
interest in Awoniyi.
