Obafemi Martins Bids US Team Farewell With Emotional Message As He Clinches N20 Billion Deal

Read his farewell message below:

”Thank you Seattle. Thank you for everything. Thank
you for the memories that will last a lifetime. Thank
you for the endless love and support, during good
times and bad. Thank you to my teammates and
coaches for always believing in me.
Something I feel strongly about is challenging
myself. When I came to Seattle, it was for the
challenge. The challenge of playing in an unknown
environment. I can wholeheartedly say that I seized
the opportunity in Seattle and gave everything I had
for the club.
For me it’s now time for a new challenge. After
significant reflection, I have decided to join Shanghai
Greenland Shenhua FC of the CSL. When I left
Nigeria for Italy at age fifteen with the hopes of a
pro career, I put everything on the line. I was
immersed in an unknown culture. It may be difficult
to understand or relate to, but I’ve grown to
appreciate the feeling I get when entering
environments where I’m not a proven footballer.
Rave on,
  • Oba Martins ”
