Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) outfit, Warri Wolves, are ready to sell Super Eagles goalkeeper, Chigozie Agbim to rivals, Enugu Rangers for N8 million (around $52,000).
But Rangers have been haggling with Wolves to pay half the asking fee for the Nigerian national team goalkeeper.
Warri Wolves are ready to farm out Agbim to Rangers and have included a deadline of April 26 for them to pay up the transfer fee of N8 million.
Supersport.com learnt that Rangers are desperate to land Agbim ahead of their Caf Champions League game against Angola's CRD Libolo on Sunday.
The Flying Antelopes have just one goalkeeper, Godwin Anyalogu available for selection ahead of the tie after failing to register Itodo Akor who joined them this term from El-Kanemi Warriors.
Agbim is understood to be the other available goalkeeper registered for the Champions League apart from Anyalogu.
Another goalkeeper in the team, Emmanuel Daniel, recovering from injury, is yet to be properly cleared from 3SC.
Wolves chief, Amaju Pinnick, has made it clear that they would include a 30 percent sell-on clause in Agbim's deal with Rangers.
"They've been talking to us about Agbim almost all through this week. But we have told them in clear terms that we want N8 million for Chigozie Agbim and nothing less. He's a national team goalkeeper.
"Last season, Agbim earned N7 million and in the previous season got N6.5 million while with us. He was on a salary of N180,000 (around $1,155) monthly last season while with us. So why would we sell a player we've invested close to N30 million on for N4 million?" remarked Pinnick.
Agbim is now in line to be named in Rangers' squad for the game against CRD Libolo pending the conclusion of paper work with Warri Wolves on Saturday.
