Patrick Schick transfer hits a snag
TRANSFER TALK
The transfer of Patrick Schick to Juventus has hit a snag with reports of a medical issue that has bemused the Sampdoria president.
With the medical a month ago Massimo Ferrero has told Il Secolo XIX that the situation is a farce.
“Schick? It’s a farce. He’s not healthy, he’s really healthy. What they found is equivalent to a cold! If Juventus want to back out, we’ll sell him to one of the other four clubs that are ready to buy him.
“I think he’ll eventually go to Juventus, otherwise we’ll take him back and add a nice ‘maybe’, given his release clause has now expired and we can sell him for not just €30m but possibly €40-50m.
“Juventus on loan? Sampdoria won’t go back a millimetre on any agreements. The lad is healthy, he can play, yet now we have to worry about who’s put out rumours that could damage the image of one of the brightest talents in European football.
“Enough talk about nothing: the sick are sick, the healthy are healthy and Schick is very healthy, so the problem doesn’t exist.”
Both Tottenham, Everton, PSG and Roma were all keen on the 21-year-old (22 next January) and according to the Italian press we tried very hard to sign him. Apparently he needs 20 to 30 days to recover fully which has put the deal in doubt. From what I hear it is a heart problem but Juventus will get medical reports from Gemini Sports Medicine today and that data will determine the Juventus decision.
Reports suggest Juventus now want to make it a loan deal with a purchase option kicking in after he has played a set number of games, much like the Nabil Bentaleb and Federico Fazio deals we struck. That is not what Sampdoria want at all as their president pointed out.
Do we ant to go back in for him? Clearly we were very keen on him but if they are going to ask for more money that might put us off. As it stands at the moment, Juventus general manager Giuseppe Marotta is meeting Sampdoria to try and resolve the situation.
