Abdullahi Shehu has reportedly had his contract terminated by his Bulgarian club. According to reports, Levski Sofia of Bulgaria has terminated the contract of Super Eagles defender Abdullahi Shehu.

Why Levski Sofia released Abdullahi
Abdullahi signed a 1-year deal with Levski Sofia back in September 2022, and the contract was abruptly ended at the turn of the new year.

“I think it’s salary-related,” the source said.
“He is back in Nigeria now and hopes to make a move soon.
“One thing is certain, He won’t be without a team for long, and as a free player he will appeal to several teams.”
