I thought it was Napoli, congrats awon iwerey megiabó
$162,000 transfer fee for someone like Osoala? Women football is stil very far away compared to men.
@Baba, she’s currently having just six months left on her current contract but still yet, it’s still can’t be compared to men’s football
Her pay could be 15 percent of $162,000. What does that say about women football?
$162k is far low for Agba’Bolla. Racism will never stop.
With all this achievements, you people still didn’t fear God to do right by her…
May God forgive humanity.
