Transfer of Sergi Darder stopped for obvious economic reasons
The transfer of Sergi Darder has been halted for obvious economic reasons. The operation would report 10 million euros, but it was not clear how much would go to Malaga and how much to the investment fund with part of the player's rights. And not to mention that peculiar negotiator Jean Michel Aulas, controversial president of Olympique Lyon. This is the third time the midfielder from Mallorca has been prevented from being sold. The previous two times were to Porto and Inter Milan.
Javi Gracia spoke last night on Cadena Ser's program 'El Larguero'. Interesting words: "We have to look forward. We have lost interesting players like Juanmi or the Samus, but good signings have also come. I would like the situation to be different and have continuity." And he referred to Sergi Darder. "It seems that he has more possibilities of staying. He is a very important player for us."
The conversations that the general director, Vicente Casado, had with the directors of Olympique Lyon were far from simple, given the complicated personality of their president, Jean Michel Aulas. Said and done. The situation has slowed down. As it happened with Porto and later with Inter.
And those who were expecting a good amount of money are Espanyol. The famous training and promotion rights regulated by FIFA would have given them an interesting sum (around 200,000 or 300,000 euros) for a player who was once discharged because he was 'not good enough'.
