World football governing body FIFA has handed Italian Serie A club Lazio a November 29 ultimatum to pay the Nigeria international Ogenyi Onazi his outstanding salaries or face their wrath.
A source close to Onazi told only AfricanFootball.com that FIFA have ordered Lazio to pay before end of this month.
“FIFA have given Lazio till November 29 to pay Onazi or face their wrath. He is being owed two months’ salary,” the source exclusively informed AfricanFootball.com
In the summer, midfielder Onazi joined Turkish club Trabzonspor, but Lazio failed to pay him for the final two months of his contract.
He demanded for this payment and after they still failed to pay, he took the case to FIFA.
Meanwhile, four top German Bundesliga clubs as well as a Chinese Super League team have shown interest in securing the services of Onazi.
A top source told AfricanFootball.com that the German and Chinese clubs were even recently in Turkey to watch the workaholic midfielder in action for Trabzonspor.
“Onazi may soon quit his Turkish team Trabzonspor as top four teams in Germany as well as the Chinese team have shown interest in him,” disclosed the source.
“In fact two of the teams from Germany and a Chinese club watched him last weekend while in action for Trabzonspor.”
