  • Ahmed Musa has terminated his contract with Turkish Club Sivasspor after AFCON 2023
  • The Super Eagles star spent two seasons with the Braves after leaving Fatih Karagumruk
  • Sports Brief looks at the three leagues option for the Nigerian international this summer

Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa is again without a club after reaching an agreement with Sivasspor to terminate his contract due to some issues.

The Nigerian international was part of the Super Eagles squad that finished second at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast but refused to resume with the Super Lig outfit after the completion of the tournament.

The former Leicester City struggled for game time with the Turkish side before deciding to leave the club.

With Musa's contract being terminated, Sports Brief takes a look at the leagues the former Kano Pillars star can move to on a free transfer.

3 Leagues Musa can move to

1. French Ligue 1

The French Ligue 1 is seen as a league that accommodates many African players and could be a perfect destination for Musa.

The 31-year-old still has some years left to play at the top level in Europe.

2. Major League Soccer

The US league is now a destination for players in the latter stages of their football career.

The likes of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba are presently plying their footballing trade in the league.

MLS would be a perfect destination for Musa as he could finally decide to leave European football after eleven years.

3. Saudi Pro League

Another suitable league for the Super Eagles star is the Saudi Pro League. He once played in the league for two seasons with Al-Nassr.

He could join fellow Nigerians Odion Ighalo, Henry Onyekuru, and Anthony Nwakaeme in the Middle East.

Musa unhappy with AFCON 2023 failure

Sports Brief previously reported that Musa was unhappy with Nigeria’s loss in the AFCON 2023 final to Ivory Coast.

The Super Eagles captain deflected questions pertaining to the tactics deployed in the final against the Elephants, claiming he is not the coach of the national team.
