Salernitana striker Boulaye Dia has admitted it’s been a complicated few months for him following his failed move to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of the summer transfer window.
The striker has been speaking to DAZN, relayed by Calciomercato.it, about his situation at the Italian club after a difficult summer for them both.
Dia was heavily linked with a move to Wolves right at the end of the summer window, with Gary O’Neil’s side sending a proposal to take him to Molineux.
Their offer was nowhere near what Salernitana had been looking for though, with the club and director of football Morgan de Sanctis publically laughing it off after the window had closed.
He was missing from Salernitana’s squad for several weeks after the debacle, with reports in Italy making it clear that his relationship with the club had seemingly been fractured, perhaps beyond repair.
He’s since returned to the side and this weekend saw him bag a double against Cagliari, helping his side to avoid a costly defeat with 85th and 95th minute strikes.
It was a big moment for him on his developing redemption arc and he admits life has been tough following that failed move to Wolves.
“They have been complicated months”, he is quoted as saying before adding that he is “at the disposal of the coach and his teammates” and has “talked a lot with the coach” about his situation and the fall-out following the summer.
Whether that means he is now completely happy and uninterested in a move remains to be seen, of course, but it seems the troubles caused by Wolves late bid are now firmly in the rearview.
