Revealed : Juventus Failed With Late Bid For Man City Striker Kelechi Iheanacho

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Juventus attempted to sign Kelechi Iheanacho prior to his move to Manchester City.

Juventus offered a far better package than Manchester City but Kelechi Iheanacho’s father, James Iheanacho, preferred a move to the Etihad Stadium ahead of The Bianconeri.

The Nigeria international put pen to paper on a four - year deal with Manchester City in January after he clocked 18, with The Citizens paying his nursery team Taye Academy £350,000 for his services.

Kelechi Iheanacho was also courted by PAOK, Stoke City, Hamburg,Sporting Lisbon, Udinese, Monaco, Chelsea and Porto before penning a preliminary contract with City.

Now 19, he has scored 3 goals in all competitions for Man City since he made his debut against Watford late August.
