Ahmed Musa has dismissed reports linking him to a return to Europe, where he spent a better part of his illustrious football career.
The Super Eagles currently doubles as a Kano Pillars player and General Manager, and has revealed over time that he is committed to helping the club to the summit of Nigerian football.
The 33-year-old former Super Eagles captain was linked with a move back to Europe to team up with his former Super Eagles team-mate, Victor Moses, at FC Kaysar in Kazakhstan.
However, a source close to the player revealed that the player has no intention of leaving Kano Pillars, as he is solely focused on helping the club return to the glory days.
Musa told me to ignore the reports linking him with a return to Europe, saying his concern is how to stabilise the team and make Kano Pillars great again by winning laurels. He trains regularly with us, and he has played some minutes in our recent games,” Malikawa, an ex-officio member of the national SWAN, stated.
“He is working around the clock to ensure Kano Pillars regain their place among the best teams in the country. He has great plans for the team and is not ready to return to Europe now. Instead, he wants to see the team compete in CAF continental competitions,” Malikawa added.
Ahmed Musa received a warm reception in Ibadan from fans as Kano Pillars fell to a 2-1 loss to Shooting Stars on Sunday. Meanwhile, Kano Pillars are currently struggling with relegation after a poor start to the season. The former champions are 17th on the log with 32 points from 28 matches
