Super Eagles Goalie Nwabali Eyed By 3-Time UCL Winners

Stanley Nwabali has been one of the best goalies on the continent, and he has attracted a lot of attention

Super Eagles goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali has emerged as a top target for Moroccan club Raja Casablanca this summer, according to Soccernet.ng.

Nwabali has been one of the best goalkeepers in Africa since he rose to reckoning at the Africa Cup of Nations last year.

The former Enyimba proved to be an important member of the Super Eagles team in the run-up to their second place finish at the AFCON.

He made some brilliant saves on the way and could have won the Golden glove if Nigeria had not conceded in the final.

At Chippa United, Nwabali has been solid in goal. Due to his consistency, he was named the team’s captain last year.

Meanwhile, Nwabali has attracted a lot of attention with his impressive displays. There were talks about interest from QPR and Al Ettifaq last, but nothing happened.

However, it appears that the Super Eagles star might just be leaving the Chilli Boys soon.

According to reports from South African outlet Unplayable, Raja Casablance are seriously interested in signing Nwabali from Chippa United this summer.

The South African Premier League club are willing to do business if they receive a good offer for Nwabali, who is valued at €650,000 on Transfermarkt.

Raja Casablanca are one of the biggest clubs in Morocco. They have three CAF Champions League, three Confederations Cup, nine league cups, and 13 Morocco Botola League titles.

They are looking to win the CAF Champions League again, and with a player like Nwabali on their roster, they have a good shot at achieving that.

Nwabali is yet to express any desire to join Raja Casablanca. But the Super Eagle star will surely prioritize being the first-choice goalkeeper at any club he joins, as Maduka Okoye is breathing down his neck for the number 1 shirt in the Nigerian national team.

Nonetheless, Raja Casablanca seem serious about sealing the deal soon, and they might complete the transfer in a few days.
