Earlier on Friday, we relayed some news from a Radio France journalist that Watford’s latest signing, Pape Gueye, no longer wanted to move to Vicarage Road.
The player reportedly ‘feared’ being immediately loaned out to Udinese, also owned by the Pozzo family, and was seemingly regretting his move of signing a five-year contract with the Hornets earlier on in the year.
His new agent and lawyer Pierre-Henri Bovis expressed some doubts to L’Equipe regarding certain aspects of the deal, which he reiterated in a press release on Thursday, relayed by RMC Sport.
The lawyer is said to have ‘been in touch with the two concerned club to try and find a settlement’, but also ‘reserves the right to take the matter before the courts’ in order to ‘carry out all litigation proceedings’.
As for the player, RMC state the Premier League will have to wait a bit, at least until ‘this mess is untangled’.
