Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho has officially completed a surprise move to Turkish club Bursaspor, effectively ending his association with Celtic.
The Nigeria international has signed a three-year contract that will keep him at the club until the summer of 2029.l
The 29-year-old joins Bursaspor as a free agent after his contract with Scottish champions Celtic expired on June 30. His departure comes despite Celtic’s efforts to keep him in Glasgow, with the Scottish giants reportedly offering him fresh terms after deciding not to activate the automatic 12-month extension in his previous deal.
Instead, Iheanacho chose a fresh challenge in Turkey after Bursaspor presented a significantly better financial package to convince the Nigerian international to make the move.
Bursaspor officially announced the signing yesterday, unveiling Iheanacho with a creative Odyssey-themed video across the club’s social media platforms. The announcement quickly attracted attention from football fans in both Turkey and Nigeria, as another Super Eagles star prepares to play in the same country as Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen, the most valuable player in Turkish football.
