Ahmed Musa quits Al-Nassr

Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa has departed the Saudi Arabian club side, Al-Nassr, following in the footsteps of another Eagles colleague, John Ogu who confirmed he had left Al-Adalah.

Confirming the news, the Saudi Arabian club side said the decision was mutual amongst both parties. In a video uploaded on Twitter, Al-Nassr thanked Musa for his services.

Musa joined Al-Nassr from Leicester City in 2018 for a reported fee of 15 million euros. The Nigerian international made a total of 57 appearances for the club, scoring 11 goals and registering 14 assists, Soccernet.ng said.

He has already made two appearances this season in the Saudi Professional League. The reason for Musa’s departure is not known, but reports claim the Super Eagles star is looking for a return to Europe.

The former Kano Pillars star started his European sojourn at VV Venlo before joining CSKA Moscow in 2012.

Following a four year stay in Russia, Leicester City paid 15 million euros for his services. However, he struggled at the King Power Stadium and returned to CSKA on a loan deal two years later.

At the end of his loan stint in Russia, he joined Al-Nassr on a permanent deal.
