The Digest:

Super Eagles forward Peter Olayinka is now a free agent after mutually terminating his contract with Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade. The 29-year-old requested the exit after a frustrating spell, seeking a "new challenge" just 11 games into the season.

Key Points:

  • Olayinka's departure was confirmed via an official club statement.
  • He joined Red Star from Slavia Prague in 2023.
  • The winger was increasingly sidelined despite scoring 14 total goals for the club.
  • His exit was agreed upon with "mutual understanding and respect."
  • He is now eligible to sign for a new club outside the transfer window.
  • Olayinka has previously played in Belgium, the Czech Republic, and Albania.
  • He has earned four caps for the Nigerian national team since his 2019 debut.
The move places the experienced winger at a career crossroads, testing his resilience and adaptability in the unpredictable landscape of professional football.
