Ipswich Town see offer turned down as Championship club demand higher valuation.
Millwall have reportedly rejected a £20 million approach from a Premier League club for Nigerian winger Femi Azeez, underlining their determination to keep hold of one of their most important attacking players.
According to multiple reports in England, including Tribal Football, the Championship side turned down the significant offer as interest in the Super Eagles-eligible forward continues to grow ahead of the summer transfer window.
The identity of the Premier League club has not been officially confirmed, but Ipswich Town have been strongly linked with the bid as they look to strengthen their squad following promotion to the top flight.
Millwall Stand Firm On Azeez Valuation
Millwall’s decision to reject the £20 million proposal highlights the high regard in which Azeez is held at the club.
The 23-year-old winger has become an important attacking outlet for the Lions, known for his direct running, pace, and ability to operate across the frontline.
Having progressed steadily in English football, Azeez is now viewed as a key figure in Millwall’s plans, and the club are believed to value him significantly higher than the rejected offer.
Premier League Interest Intensifies
Interest from Premier League clubs comes as no surprise given Azeez’s performances in the Championship.
His development has attracted attention from top-flight scouts monitoring emerging talent with potential for immediate impact and long-term growth.
While Ipswich Town are reportedly among the interested clubs, other Premier League sides are also believed to be monitoring his situation closely ahead of a possible renewed approach.
Super Eagles Future Still Open
Born in England, Femi Azeez remains eligible to represent Nigeria at international level, and has previously been linked with a potential Super Eagles call-up.
His consistent performances in England continue to keep him on the radar of Nigerian football followers, especially as the national team looks to strengthen its attacking options with diaspora talent.
A move to the Premier League could further boost his chances of breaking into the Super Eagles setup.
What Happens Next?
With the transfer window approaching, Millwall face increasing pressure to respond to growing interest in their winger.
However, their rejection of a £20 million bid signals that any potential deal will require a significantly higher offer to even be considered.
For now, Azeez remains a Millwall player — but his future is expected to remain one of the talking points of the summer transfer window.
