Nigeria midfielder Kelechi Nwakali finally saw his saga with Spanish club Huesca come to an end after the club sacked him and the 23-year-old continues to speak out about how he was treated. The Spanish second tier side did not want Nwakali to report to the Nigeria team for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and began delaying payment of his wages after he refused to comply with the club’s wishes by signing a contract with fellow La Liga 2 side Burgos.
Nwakali came out with a statement on social media regarding the issue. Soccernet Nigeria has the statement and summarizes what led to Nwakali’s release from the club, which drew condemnation of Huesca’s actions from the Spanish players union.
