Nigerian striker and Wikki Tourists player ,Maduka Orji, rejects potential move to C.D. Cova da Piedade National Daily learnt.
The Portuguese team have been tracking the Wikki Tourists star since December and have firmed up their interest by inviting him for trials with a view to offering him a deal if successful.
But the young Nigerian striker turned down the switch to LigaPro side C.D. Cova da Piedade.
He told National Daily that he turned down the offer because it was a trial.
However, the 22-year-old has pledged his loyalty to Wikki Tourists as he intends to see out his contract and does not want to abandon the club he recently joined at the business stage of the season.
