Chidozie Awaziem and his Portuguese club Boavista are at logger heads over his unpaid wages, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced from Ouest-France. 

The 26-year-old Nigerian is tied with Boavista till 2025. However, he is expected to return with Les Canaris after spending the 2017-18 season on loan at Claudio Ranieri’s FC Nantes from FC Porto.

Awaziem has reportedly agreed personal terms over a four-year deal with Nantes. 

The Nigerian international is expected to compensate for the departure of Andrei Girotto, who joined Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Tawoon, and compete for a starting spot in Pierre Aristouy’s defense with Nicolas Pallois and Jean-Charles Castelletto. 

Ouest-France reported that Boavista and Nantes had agreed a €1.5m transfer fee. However, the Nigerian’s arrival at the Cité des Ducs is delayed due to the player’s dispute with Boavista. 

Ouest-France understands that Awaziem will become a free agent on August 16th should no agreement is found between the involved parties on the matter.
