Onazi quits Trabzonspor over unpaid wages
Super Eagles star Ogenyi Onazi has terminated his contract with Turkish club Trabzonspor over unpaid wages.
The midfielder, who stood in as Eagles’ captain in last month’s Nations Cup qualifier against South Africa, played the final two months of last season without pay.
According to his agent, Ayodele Stephen Makinwa, they have written to the club with their decision.
“Now we are looking for a quick solution with regards his next destination,” Makinwa told BBC Sport.

“We have an agreement with the club which strictly states that the player has a right to terminate his contract if the club failed to pay him for two months or more.
“We’ve taken a decision based on the violation of this agreement as Onazi is being owed for more than the stipulated period.”
24-year-old Onazi joined Trabzonspor on a four-year deal from Italian side Lazio last August.
