"What happened in the afternoon, Chelsea was always testing and trying for Camara, I was in contact for the last 10 days. Around 4pm, we got a call from Chelsea, 'OK, we sold a player (Enzo) in this position, is there any possibility that Monaco would sell Camara' the answer was the same. No." "Balogun was in Liverpool going through his medical, around 7pm, we had a call from Everton raising questions on the medicals of Balogun which for our medical staff, the personnel staff of the player, made totally no sense." "This was ongoing, meanwhile this was in the press quite quickly, it was already in the media that Balogun is failing the medical and of course, Chelsea saw the opportunity, 'Monaco needs money, Balogun is strugglng there, let's go, let's try.' On this moment, we had to open the door for the discussion, we started conversations for Camara, I informed the player directly, I informed his agent, we had discussions for the conditions for Camara to go to Chelsea. Meanwhile, the medical discussion was ongoing with Balogun." "Around 10pm, Everton realised there is no problem. As soon as we got the information, we came back to Chelsea that we have our deal there and there's no deal for Camara. It's fair to do this, it's part of the game. This was done five minutes before the close of the transfer window for us to finsh paperwork between Balogun and Everton. I signed the contract, Everton signed the contract, at the last moment the player decided not to sign."   submitted by   /u/kibme37 [link]   [comments]
