Simy Nwankwo and Serie A club Salernitana are headed for a contentious summer as tensions escalate between the two parties, Soccernet.ng reports .
Nwankwo joined Salernitana on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy from Crotone in August 2021. The club quickly exercised this option, acquiring the full rights to the striker for a fee of €3.5 million on January 9, 2022.
However, by the end of that month, Nwankwo was loaned out to Serie B side Parma for the remainder of the season, with an option to buy. His stint at Parma was underwhelming, netting only one goal in 12 league appearances, leading the club to pass on a permanent deal.
The following season saw Nwankwo loaned to Benevento, where he failed to score in 22 Serie B matches.
Returning to Salernitana last year, he managed three goals in 15 games, but his efforts were insufficient to prevent the clubs relegation from Serie A. Salernitana are now looking to offload the 32-year-old forward.
