A plethora of teams including Everton, Espanyol and Celta
Vigo had been eyeing a loan move for Odion Ighalo in the summer transfer market
but Udinese have rejected the proposals from England
and Spain as
they failed to meet the player's rental fee.
The Italian club also turned down a bid from Turkish club
Fenerbahçe who were interested in the outright acquisition of the 23 - year
-old attacker.
Udinese snatched Odion Ighalo from under the noses of
Norwegian club SK Brann in the summer of 2008. The player has failed to break into the first team of
The Bianconeri, and had been sent on loan to satellite club Granada
in the past three seasons.
Ighalo's first choice is a return to Granada
with some conditions attached. The Egypt 2009 Fifa Under 20 World Cup star had
to take a pay-cut to play for the Andalusia club
reportedly earning annual wages of 200, 000 euros. He was one of the least paid
players at The Filipinos. Now, he is demanding an increase in wages before
joining the club on loan again for the 2012 - 2013 La Liga season.
