Manchester City Puts Iheanacho’s Contract Talks on Hold

Premier League giants,  Manchester City have put contract talks with Kelechi Iheanacho on the back burner, due to a ‘contractual war’ between the agents representing the player.

US-based First Eleven Management, who helped the Nigerian starlet secure his first City deal, have asked the FA Arbitration to cancel a new management contract, which Iheanacho signed with UK-based Stellar Group.

According to reports, the tussle could end up in a civil court battle between the two agents.

“Talks over a new contract for Kelechi have been suspended until the FA arbitration decides on who his agents are. First Eleven who first managed him have asked for the FA to cancel a new management contract the player has entered with Stellar Group,” a top source informed AfricanFootball.

“It is only after the decision by arbitration that the situation will be a lot clearer. But even then, this could go all the way to the courtroom the way things are going.”
