The Italian sport media love speaking to football agents, and have excellent connections which enable them to do so.
There’s still transfer chats going on, despite the Covid-19 developments, but agents are also being asked to give their opinion on the whole situation, and how players they represent are coping with restrictions.
Crescenzo Cecere represents several footballers, including Reading’s George Puscas and Bristol City’s Adam Nagy.
Speaking to FC Inter News, he’s been asked how his two English based players are getting on, and spoke highly of both Puscas and Nagy: “Two weeks ago I was in England, I flew there and there were six of us. Only very superficially did people talk about it. Today the concern has increased. There are also starting to be deaths. Puscas and Nagy are mature boys, with their heads on their shoulders. Today, more than a professional matter, it is a human affair.”
Also representing players in Italy, it’s there that Cecere is obviously seeing the biggest impact and struggles for those he represents, and explained: “They all have families away. Karamoh is stuck in Italy and cannot train from Parma, logistically a footballer is sleeping in the hotel and the facilities are closing. Radu is also in Parma and the family in Romania. Agouma is in quarantine in Milan alone. But everyone is facing this moment with great maturity. Fortunately, the underage boys left earlier.”
Like the rest of clubs in English football, Reading and Bristol City will have little idea of what the next steps are, and whether the current season can even be finished.
With everything under serious doubt, and even travel out of the country now facing tough restrictions, George Puscas and Adam Nagy are facing a time of uncertainty, with Crescenzo Cecere doing everything he can to support them from afar.
