Since the completion of the tournament, the 27-year-old has been linked to some clubs outside Africa.

But speaking recently, the former Enyimba shotstopper said there is no truth in the transfer rumours.

As reported by Goal, Nwabali told FARPost:

"You see, to be honest, I’ve never seen anything on my table ever since Afcon."
“Maybe those clubs might have spoken to my team or my manager. But at this point, we can’t do anything.
"And they can’t approach me because it would be unprofessional. They must go to my club or my manager.
“So I don’t know if there’s something on the table maybe waiting for towards summer or transfer window."

Leadership newspaper also noted Nwabali's stance.

He added:

"You know most clubs always do this. When they show interest, you’re opening the way to some other clubs.
