Iheanacho wants £200,000 a week, five-year Man City contract

Watford signs Isaac Success
The agents of Kelechi Iheanacho have demanded a bumper new Manchester City contract that will pay the Nigerian starlet a mind-blowing £200,000 a week over five years, reports AfricanFootball.com.

“He has deserved his keep at City as he is now one of the most effective forwards in the whole of Europe when you put his game time against the number of his goals,” a top source argued.

The 19-year-old Nigeria international has netted 13 goals in all competitions this season with seven of them in the Premier League.
In October, Manchester City offered Iheanacho 50,000 pounds-a-week.

City have opened talks with Iheanacho’s handlers over a new contract after he justified his promotion to the first team at The Etihad with goals and five-star displays in his debut season in the English Premier League.

The report says Iheanacho is currently earning “between 10,000 and 18,000 pounds a week” after coming through the City youth ranks.Inside sources say the least paid City first-teamer is on £180,000 a week with the biggest earner at the club, Yaya Toure, pocketing almost twice that sum.Iheanacho is expected to bag a new contract by July.

Meanwhile, Isaac Success’ agent has confirmed the striker will move to Watford this summer, despite apparent interest in the Nigerian striker from some of Europe’s top clubs.

The 20-year-old has established himself as one of the brightest young talents in Europe following a series of live-wire performances for the La Liga strugglers this season. He has scored six goals this season and assisted five more. It is a form that hasn’t gone unnoticed by several of Europe’s biggest clubs, but Watford have won the race for his signature.

“Granada are not releasing him [Success] to Valencia or any other club except Watford,” Dominic Egbukwu, Success’ agent, told allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and PSG have approached us. Plenty teams want him [but he’ll only go to Watford]”. Success, who is built like a brick outhouse and has pace to burn, is deemed by the club’s transfer committee to be tailormade for life in the Premier League and he will be competing for a starting spot next season.

Crucially, he will be classed as an under-21 player so will not take up a place in the 25-man Premier League squad.“The only transfer fee Watford will have to pay is ten percent sell-on clause to BJ Foundation (Success’ first club),” Egbukwu said. “Watford and Granada are still negotiating, the wages are still being discussed.”
