Abia Warriors have agreed to sell Super Eagles rising star Chisom Chikatara to Moroccan Botola Pro side Wydad Casablanca for a transfer fee of $700,000 (about N139m)

Chikatara put himself in the spotlight at the African Nations Championship, notching 4 goals in 3 matches as the Super Eagles failed to progress to the knockout rounds of the tourney after losing 1-0 to Guinea in their final group game.

A lot of teams, predominantly based in North Africa, had courted the 21-year-old before Abia Warriors CEO Emeka Inyama accepted the proposal from Wydad Casablanca.

Tunisian powerhouse Esperance saw a bid of $500,000 (about N99m) rejected by Abia Warriors as it failed to meet their valuation of Chisom Chikatara.

The frontman will pen a contract designed for three years if he agrees personal terms with Wydad Casablanca.
