Director claims Nottingham Forest outbid competitor with a “higher offer” because the team desired the player “at all costs.”
Giovanni Reyna was signed by Nottingham Forest last month on a loan from Borussia Dortmund after the team overcame competition.
Nereo Bonato, the sporting director of Cagliari, was a guest on Il Cagliari in Diretta on Radiolina.
Now that he has clarified how Nottingham Forest unintentionally dealt the Serie A team a transfer blow during the winter market, Fiorentina is repeating his remarks.that.
In the most recent transfer window, the Italian team was eager to capture Antonín Barák of Fiorentina, and they were able to come to an arrangement with both the player and La Viola. Despite this, Vincenzo Italiano’s side was unable to bring in a replacement, hence the operation failed to materialize.
Bonato claims that Fiorentina was eager to sign Albert Guðmundsson, the star offensive midfielder from Genoa and an American. Nevertheless, Nottingham Forest acquired the Dortmund-owned player, and in January, Genoa refused to allow the Icelandic international to depart.
“There were all the agreements, both with the boy [Barák] and at the club level. He remarked, “It was an operation that made sense financially as well.
Fiorentina’s two main ambitions were Guðmundsson and Reyna, and we had observed in the Viola managers a determination to reach those goals at any cost.
Unfortunately, Genoa chose to retain Gudmundsson and Nottingham Forest made a better offer for Reyna. We have to change to fit these options.
