Ghanaian youngster Abdul Fatawu has had his move to German Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen collapsed.
The Steadfast FC sensation was in Germany to finalize a move to Leverkusen following his splendid performance at the U-20 African Cup of Nations where he emerged as the best player.
German sports portal Kicker is reporting that the deal has been halted due to the dubious behavior of the player’s adviser.
According to Kicker, the two parties agreed on a deal but “on Wednesday morning, when the deal was about to be watertight, matters took an unexpected turn.”
They continued that, “Fatawu is a highly talented player and Bayer made a very good offer,” says Michael Ruhnau, who put Bayer and Fatawu’s agent in contact, “but I can understand those responsible for Bayer that they are because of Fatawus’ dubious and disrespectful behavior Advisors have refrained from the transfer. “
Giving the background of the story, Kicker reported that “On Wednesday, Fatawu’s advisor canceled the second and final date for sealing the deal with Bayer at short notice. Allegedly because the agent may have wanted to meet representatives of Liverpool on the same day. The latter was exposed because Fatawu had posted a video from his hotel room, during which a corresponding telephone conversation could be heard in the background, during which a meeting in Portugal was arranged for Wednesday afternoon. This meant that the Fatawu theme was over for Bayer 04 despite his talent”
“The advisor’s approach apparently has a method. Fatawu’s agent has been peddling clubs like FC Basel, RSC Anderlecht, RB Salzburg, Ajax, BVB and Liverpool since March to drive up the price. Where Fatawu gets the best opportunity to develop seems to be of much less importance for the advisor.”
