Roma can appeal for justice because of the transfer of Malcolm to Barcelona – Football News – Football

"We were totally satisfied with Malcolm's bid, and our club saw a good reinforcement of the composition, we agreed on all the terms of the deal and got the player's permission to go to Rome to At that time, we were calm and confident that everything was under control.However, soon their chairman called me and said that there were a lot of rumors around the case So, it would be better to publish an official announcement, I replied that we would not like it because there are certain rules, but he insisted, so they published the advertisement, and then we did the same thing.

Everything was settled, but an hour after the announcement, it began to appear messages about the interest of Barcelona.It is true that there A few days ago I knew that some clubs, including "Barcelona", were demanding Malcolm. Therefore, we tried to close the deal as soon as possible. I was very surprised when one of the agents of the player called me and said that "Bordeaux" had withdrawn his permission for a medical examination. I called France – it was said that Barcelona has made its proposal and it's better than ours.

The Bordeaux chef asked us to improve the offer so as not to miss the player. I objected to him, said that we had already reached an agreement, but he replied that there were no signatures, and without them the agreement can not be considered as closed. I informed our president about this, and he told me that we had to discontinue the offer of "Barcelona". I opposed him, but he insisted on his.

I informed the president of Bordeaux and the agents that "Roma" is ready to break the offer of "Barcelona". Their head told me we had to send official papers. At 23:00, we formed an official proposal. The agents and the president of Bordeaux have said that if everything is okay, Tuesday we will be able to exchange documents and the player will again be allowed to go for a medical examination. And this morning I spoke with Malcolm's agent Fernando Garcia, who had a meeting with Bordeaux to confirm that everything was settled.

After this meeting, I was suddenly informed that the agents and the Bordeaux wanted a new offer, because Barcelona does not shrink from its demands. I told them "enough", because we do not want to participate in the auction. We simply improved the offer yesterday, at the will of our president. That's how it ended. We conduct consultations inside the club, study the options and consider the possibility of going to court. It is true that there were no signatures, but there is a lot of correspondence with the agents and their president, who deserve at least to be evaluated.

What should I say to fans? I am really sorry that this happened, but I think we were completely in agreement with the "Bordeaux", and that we even improved the proposal. President Pallott decided to offer the best terms, but when the negotiations turned into an auction, we decided to go out. If someone wants to go to "Roma", then that's great, but if in the long run there is not such a desire, then we do not want to see such a person. I want to badure the fans that we continue to work diligently, we are looking for a player who would like to settle in "Roma" and was not inferior to Malcolm, and even exceeded it, the service Press Release "Roma" quotes Monci .
