Oppo Likely To Be Highest Paid Player

The man who scored twenty goals this time to top the goal scorer list is none other than Maldives hotcake Ibrahim Fazeel a.k.a Oppo, whose demand has gone higher in Maldives football.

According to the maldivesoccer.com, Victory striker Ibrahim Fazeel’s (Oppo) price has reached more than 400,000 rufiyaa per season. Victory is yet to come to an agreement with the prolific striker but the club insisted that they will offer him a price worth his caliber.

Oppo’s price was somewhere around 300,000 rufiyaa when he moved to Victory from VB last season. But there are also reports that said his price is now at somewhere around 500,000 and some of the bigger clubs are already lined up to get his signature.

Oppo happened to be the second player during this year’s transfer market that put a price tag of more than 400,000. Lately Valencia’s winger Mukhthar Naseer joined Victory at a price believed to be more than 450,000 per season.

Oppo is the only player to win the golden boot in three consecutive years with three different clubs. However the report suggests that Oppo expressed his desire to stay with Victory for another season.

Oppo came into spotlight in 1997 as a student when he was included in Maldives senior national team. After the studies he joined New Lagoons, a club later renamed to IFC, and then he made a brave move to New Radiant and enjoyed a historical season with the blues that reach AFC cup semi finals in 2005.
