By Wale Mustapha

Nigerian striker, Sunday Adetunji has disclosed he’s not finding life easy with FC Shkupi in the Macedonian league.

The former Nigeria U23 forward joined the 2022 North Macedonia champions on August, 2021, after a successful campaign at Rivers United in Nigeria’s first-tier league.

Adetunji has featured in 62 matches in all competitions since joining the club in 2021 scoring 33 goals with 13 assists and went on to emerge as the league’s top scorer when he finished with 20 League goals in 2022 and was also the first FC Shkupi player to score in the three tiers of European competitions in the just concluded season.

Adetunji’s representative Tobi Adepoju revealed that the former Super Eagles striker is considering leaving the club.

“Adetunji is not happy at FC Shkupi, and the situation is becoming unbearable. The management of the club are disrespecting him and they make the environment unconducive,” Adepoju told Nigeriafootball.ng.

“It is unfortunate, his sacrifice and passion for the club are not appreciated enough and the club only consider what benefits them without considering the player’s interest and future.

“We have had extensive family discussions and we are scared of his health, his mental health has been over-stressed in the past weeks and he is not in a good condition. He is the only one in the country without his family.

“The management of the club has told him they don’t care about his career. They don’t care about his emotions, and feeling as a human. FC Shkupi just wants their interest to top his wishes and dreams.”

Adetunji has played for notable Nigerian league clubs before moving abroad including Shooting Stars, Rivers United, Plateau United, Enyimba FC among others.
