Turkish Club Gençlerbirliği Sack Super Eagles Winger

Turkish Super Lig club Genclerbirligi have mutually agreed to terminate the contract of Super Eagles winger Henry Onyekuru, reports Completesports.com.

The decision follows talks between the club and the 29-year-old Nigerian’s representatives, with both parties reaching an agreement to end his stay ahead of the new season.

According to reports, both parties reached a settlement worth approximately €940,000 to facilitate the termination of the contract.

Under the agreement, Onyekuru will receive €240,000 in outstanding wages from last season, along with €700,000 as compensation for the remaining value of his contract for the upcoming campaign, bringing the total package to €940,000.

The agreed amount will be paid in instalments over a six-month period.

Before the contract was terminated, the Nigerian winger was reportedly set to earn €1.6 million in salary for the new season.

Onyekuru joined Gençlerbirliği on a free transfer last summer after quitting Saudi club Al-Fayha.

He made 17 league appearances for the Red and Black.
