Just to show the impact Wolverhampton Wanderers’ late attempt to sign Boulaye Die has had on the player, Tutto Salernitana have an article have an article dedicated on the matter.
The website discuss how the striker, who was a star last season for the Serie A club, has gone from ‘Maradona’s hero’ to being a ‘traitor’ in the matter of months.
For those who aren’t aware of what has happened, Wolves came in late in the transfer window and offered a paid loan with an option to buy of €18m for the goalscorer, which infuriated the Italians all the while affecting the player.
Did wanted the move, since he dreams of playing in the Premier League, but he was blocked from going there, which didn’t sit well with him.
As of Wednesday, he still hadn’t returned, spending time in France instead for alleged personal reasons, without the club’s consent.
That’s why there’s a lot of talk around him, and every single part of it is down to Wolves trying to sign him on transfer deadline day.
Tutto Salernitana recall that the Premier League side directly contacted Dia’s agents without going through the Serie A side first, which wasn’t appreciated, and this being publicly aired by the Italian club ‘exacerbated the rift’ between the team and their number 10 led him from being Maradona’s hero to a traitor, one ‘to be sold at all costs and kicked out of the squad until January’.
Regarding the Maradona’s hero bit, this stems from him delaying Napoli’s title celebrations by another week thanks to a late goal scored at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium last season.
As things stand, Salernitana are at a crossroads, and they ‘do not rule out any type of scenario’, including a sale in January even if they know all this ‘will lower the price tag’.
