El Hamdaoui: Ajax blame Fiorentina

  • Serafino Ingardia

The deal between El Hamdaoui and Fiorentina was cancelled at the last minute of the transfer deadline with the Viola blaming Ajax for it. According to director Pantaleo Corvino, the Dutch directors were unreasonable and their behaviour jeopardised the deal.

However, Director of Sports Danny Blind underlined that the Dutch club did everything correctly and was let down by Fiorentina.

“We are angry with Fiorentina and surprised by their comments,” Blind told FirenzeViola.

“What Corvino said is false and he was incredibly unprofessional.”

Blind explained that the transfer with Fiorentina was agreed on January 9, but the Viola never provided a financial guarantee. Furthermore, the player was asking for a 900k payout which Ajax were unwilling to provide.

On the last day of the transfer marker, according to Blind, Fiorentina sent an email to plead Ajax to complete the deal.

“And we assumed they had sorted out the payout with the player but they didn’t,” added Blind.

Regardless of what happened, this seems the end of any future collaboration between the two clubs.

“I doubt we will trust such an unprofessional club in the future. We will be very careful,” concluded the Ajax director.
