MTNFootball.com learnt that Lille have put on the table N1m for Oboabona, who was impressive at the recent Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
Lille thus met the Euros valuation of the Nigerian club for the player, but Sunshine Stars have now demanded double that amount.
“Lille have through an agent made a bid of N1m for Oboabona, but Sunshine Stars say they now want them to double that figure,” a club official told MTNFootball.com.
“Sunshine Stars through a top official wrote directly to Lille and not through the agents demanding for two million Euros.”
Efforts to reach Sunshine Stars general manager Mike Idoko were not successful.
The versatile Oboabona, who could play as a right back, central defender or defensive midfielder, has attracted a rash of interests from across the big leagues in Europe after he shone at the 2013 AFCON, which Nigeria won.
He was recently reported to be on his way to trials with top English Premier League side Arsenal, but Sunshine officials have since dismissed this.
The player himself has said God will decide where he moves to in the summer.
He told MTNFootball.com: “There are speculations and inquiries from many clubs, but I don’t know where I will end up. God will decide and chose the best for me.”
