Obi Jeremiah Chinonso has left Lithuanian side DFK Dainava to become a free agent, completing a move to the status of “Without Club” on 2026-02-05. The Nigeria-born right winger departs the I Lyga outfit with no transfer fee involved and now enters the open market with a listed market value of €25k.
The 20-year-old attacker, a left-footed right winger, now finds himself unattached after his spell in Lithuania, where he most recently represented DFK Dainava Alytus. His contract there has ended on 2026-02-05, and with no new club immediately announced, his next destination remains to be determined. The transfer is formally registered as a move to “Without Club,” confirming that he is officially a free agent rather than tied to any league or team structure.
Chinonso’s pathway has already taken him well beyond Nigeria’s borders. Born in Lagos on 22/03/2005, he first moved from 1472 Football Club in Nigeria to Finnish side FC Jazz, stepping into European football in the 24/25 season. From Finland’s FC Jazz, he switched to DFK Dainava Alytus in Lithuania in the same 24/25 campaign, before this latest change in status that leaves him outside the club system altogether.
In Lithuania, he was registered in the I Lyga with DFK Dainava Alytus, and his market value has most recently been assessed at €25k during his time there. That valuation remained steady across updates, indicating that he was viewed as a developing prospect with room to grow rather than a depreciating asset. However, the move to “Without Club” means he now stands outside any formal league structure, with his new “club” and league both effectively listed as N/A.
Prior to this, Chinonso’s European exposure in Finland came through FC Jazz, where he continued his development after emerging from local Nigerian side 1472 Football Club. Across these steps, he has consistently been deployed as an attacking right winger, operating from the flank on his preferred left foot. His nationality is recorded as Nigerian, and there is no indication of dual nationality in the available data.
While detailed match-by-match statistics, appearances, goals, assists, or specific recent performances are not provided in the data, his steady presence in European lower divisions and an unchanged market valuation suggest that he has shown enough promise to stay on the radar of scouts and clubs looking for affordable attacking options.
With his contract at DFK Dainava now officially ended on 2026-02-05 and no transfer fee paid, Chinonso enters a pivotal phase of his career. As a free agent, he has the flexibility to negotiate with interested clubs without the barrier of a transfer sum. At just 20 years of age and already experienced in both Finland and Lithuania, his next move will determine whether he secures a stable role abroad or seeks a return closer to home in Nigeria.
