Ahmed Musa has always been one to keep fans on their toes, and his latest social media post about his next destination has justice to that once again.
The former Super Eagles captain, known for his blistering pace and incredible dribbling skills, has hinted at a possible return to competitive football, Footballrover reports.
But where will the Nigerian legend land next?
Taking to his X handle, Musa dropped a bombshell with a cheeky post:
“Let’s go again. Which team do you wish for me to sign?”

The move instantly reignited speculation, with fans across Nigeria and beyond scrambling to predict where their beloved star might lace up his boots next.
A Trip Down Memory Lane
Musa’s deep connection with the NPFL is no secret. After all, it was with Kano Pillars that his rise to stardom began.
In the 2009/10 season, a young Ahmed Musa took the league by storm, scoring 18 goals in just 25 appearances.
His performances earned him a ticket to Europe, but not before earning his place in the hearts of Pillars fans forever.
Fast forward to 2021, and Musa made an emotional return to Kano Pillars.
Though his second stint was cut short, featuring only in eight games, the nostalgia was real.
Could a third stint also be possible?
I’m sure fans would certainly welcome their hero back home with open arms.
The Possibilities Are Endless
Of course, Musa’s talents aren’t limited to just Nigerian soil.
After leaving Sivasspor earlier this year, the 31-year-old forward remains a free agent, and he feels there is still plenty of gas left in his tank.
His wealth of experience, including his time in Europe’s top leagues and the Turkish Super Lig, means he could easily slot into any number of international squads looking for a dynamic and experienced winger.
Why a Return to Kano Pillars Makes Sense
Musa returning to Kano Pillars would be more than just a feel-good story.
It would represent the homecoming of a player whose career has spanned continents and leagues but still holds the NPFL close to his heart.
For the club, it would be a chance to reignite the firepower of their attack while boosting the profile of Nigerian football with one of its most iconic figures leading the charge.
At 31, Musa has shown no signs of slowing down.
His fitness, leadership, and experience, combined with that of 43-year-old Rabiu Ali, would be a massive asset to the team in the NPFL, and there’s no doubt that the fans in Kano would love nothing more than to see their local hero tear up the league once again.
Final Thoughts
Whether it’s a return to Kano Pillars or a fresh adventure in Europe or beyond, one thing is certain: wherever Ahmed Musa goes, excitement follows, just like Victor Osimhen a few weeks ago.
