Enyeama Admits Maccabi Don't Have Financial Muscle To Prise Him From Lille
Published: March 16, 2013
Vincent Enyeama says a permanent move to Maccabi Tel Aviv in the summer transfer market might be difficult to achieve as the Israeli log leaders look to have little financial muscle to prise him from Lille.
Just before the commencement of the season, the Nigeria custodian joined the Yellows on loan due to his lack of first team opportunities at Lille. The agreement between both clubs will run out in the next three months.
''The reality is that I have a contract for two more years with Lille. To be here next season should be negotiated between the clubs. Israel is an amazing place to be and I can not deny that,''Enyeama told sports.walla.co.il.
He went further: ''Considering my age, my contract and my life, I'm not sure Maccabi could afford to pay my contract next season. Bring me from Lille means investing a lot of money.
''They will have to pay a very high exit clause that stands at three million euros. I do not think Lille will be willing to lend me again under the conditions of the current season. Now they pay something like 70 percent of my wages and Maccabi pay a small fee.''
Vincent Enyeama has confessed that he was frustrated with his lack of first team action at Lille. At his previous clubs, he was always guaranteed game time.
''The weather was terrible, minus 12 or minus 15 degrees and you're sitting on the bench and freezing. It's definitely very frustrating, but that's life and that is the reality I wrestled., I lost my joy And it was very bad.
''How can I be happy when I'm not playing? I'll give you an example., we had meetings with fans during the week. Sometimes it hurts so much to hear a fan ask me: 'Excuse me, what's your name, Who are you? Are you a new player here ? '.
''It was embarrassing., no one knew me because they did not see me on the field, kind of humiliation,'' he said.
Enyeama, who is expected to skipper the Super Eagles at next weekend's World Cup qualifier against Kenya, has suited up 19 times in the Israeli top flight.
