Nigerian professional footballer Brown Aide Ideye recently shared a humorous story about his wife’s reaction to his unexpected transfer to China after seeing the details of his proposed salary and bonuses.
On his official X (formerly Twitter) page, Ideye admitted that he had no intention of playing for a Chinese club. However, Olympiacos, the Greek professional football club he was with, received an irresistible offer from Tianjin Teda, a Chinese club.
After his agent negotiated his salary and bonuses, Ideye’s wife, upon seeing the substantial figures involved in the deal, enthusiastically started packing their bags, ready to move to China the very next day.
His words: “I had no plans to go to China, Olympiacos received an offer from TEDA which they can’t refuse, my agent negotiated with TEDA about my salary and bonuses. When i saw the long numbers and told my wife na she pack my luggage for me to leave the next day LOL…”
