Nigeria international Obinna Nsofor is set for his biggest contract as top Turkish club Galatasaray could pay four million euros for him.

Nsofor is a free agent after his loan spell at relegated West Ham and Italian giants Inter Milan failed to evoke a contract in the player's contract that would have kept him at the San Siro.

According to MTNFootball.com, the former Kwara United star will on Thursday meet with his agent to go through the offers, including that of Galatasaray, that have been tabled for his services.

A source told MTNFootball.com, "There are quite a few good offers from Stoke City as well as two clubs in Napoli, but the most interesting so far is that from Galatasaray.

"'Gala' are ready to almost double his salary and they will also pay him a massive signing-on fee, which is also tax-free."

Nsofor earned about 1.2m euros a year while he was under contract with Inter, and now Galatasaray are willing to pay him about two million euros a year. This will be net, what he will take home."

Galatasaray, who will feature in the Europa League next season, will in addition pay Nsofor a signing-on fee of two million euros.

The player has made it very clear that he really wants to cash in this summer after a rather chequered club career that has seen him being offloaded on loan to clubs like Malaga and West Ham.
