Sporting Braga are demanding a staggering 10 million Euros before Nigeria international Elderson Echiejile could quit the Portuguese club.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Nigeria defender joined them last season as a free player on a four-year contract after a hellish time at French club Rennes, where he was frozen out for a whole season.<\/p>\n

\u201cBraga are asking for 10 million Euros for a player they got for nothing a season ago,\u201d an angry top France-based agent informed MTNFootball.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is always the problem with clubs from Portugal. Because they are often short on cash, they always want to cash in on any of their players leaving them.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, it is believed that Braga would eventually lower their asking price to about six million Euros.<\/p>\n

Former youth international Echiejile got off to a bright start as Braga made it all the way to the final of the Europa League, where they eventually fell to fellow Portuguese side FC Porto.<\/p>\n

He made a total of 18 appearances as Braga finished fourth on the table this past season.<\/p>\n

However, a thigh strain that recurred at least four times cut short Echiejile\u2019s decent run and by the business end of the season, he was no longer in the first team.<\/p>\n

MTNFootball.com gathered a wrong diagnosis was behind the left back\u2019s injury woes.<\/p>\n

Echiejile\u2019s limited playing time has invariably affected his international career as he has severally been snubbed by Eagles coach Samson Siasia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
