FC Basel: Philip Otele set for departure?
Philip Otele could be on his way out of FC Basel before the end of this transfer window. The 26-year-old Nigerian winger is drawing interest from several foreign clubs.
According to expert Ben Jacobs, the Swiss club is demanding €7 million to let their player go, having signed him permanently last summer for €3 million. Such a deal would allow Basel to make a significant profit.
After impressive performances in the Europa League, Otele has caught the eye of Bournemouth and Wolverhampton from the Premier League, Birmingham City from the Championship, as well as Celtic Glasgow and Lazio Rome. The race for his signature is still wide open. This season, Otele has recorded 8 goals and 3 assists in 30 matches. He is under contract with the club until 2028.
