The transfer of Ishaq Rafiu Kayode to the Slovenian side NK Maribor continues to generate controversy as Rivers United have insisted that the player's contract is still valid, BSNsports.com.ng has gathered.

Maribor two days ago announced they have secured the services of a left-footed forward on a 3-year deal but Rivers United Wednesday debunked the move.

The Media Officer of the club, Mayuku Charles while speaking to Isaiah Akinremi on High Sports on -I-Flier 103.3FM Ibadan maintained that the club have not been in negotiations with any club for Ishaq.

"The press release was put out by Rivers United and we did explain to everyone, the true position of the club on the issue.

"Ishaq Rafiu Kayode is still a bonafide player of Rivers United and is still under contract and as far as that is concerned all the rumour you are hearing is not true.

"Rivers United have not been involved in any negotiations with any club side and irrespective of the year or month remaining, Ishaq is still under a valid contract," he affirmed.

Ishaq netted 14 goals last season for the Pride of Rivers .
