Emerick Aubameyang
Salvatore Bagni, a former Neapolitan footballer,
now transfer market intermediary has talked about Aubameyang to Radio CRC. Here’s what he said: “I proposed the footballer to Napoli, before that Borussia Dortmund acquired him, his cost was 13 million euros, he was a bargain. The president was in agreement, but there are always the coaches. Benitez has preferred Callejon, for heaven’s sake, a great footballer. Sarri‘s words? The president looked for another footballer (Icardi) it seems to me, however hard, he tried. For Aubameyang, he has made an attempt, but it missed 10-15 days to the end of the transfer market. He hoped to persuade Inter, but then there was no time to replace the footballers. Therefore the deal has become difficult. Gabbiadini until the last day was near to Everton, his agent was there in England. But he stayed yet in Napoli because there was no his substitute”.
And on the Atalanta‘s rising star Kessie: “Now everyone is talking about. I offered him to Napoli for about 300,000 euros in October 2014. Let’s talk about concrete things … There is not only the president’s will, there are also the coach and the manager. De Laurentiis had to impose Aubameyang, he plays all the attack roles by scoring lots of goals, but each coach has its own type of play“.
A personal reflection. Everyone appreciates Salvatore Bagni, but, why do the transfer market intermediaries speak always about the great footballers offered in vain?
