Fabrizio Romano – Source: Twitter (02/09/22) The incredible story of Bamba Dieng transfer is over. No agreement after talks between OGC Nice and OM in the last hours. Deal called off. 🚨 #transfers After Leeds agreed, OGC Nice hijack and many hours spent at the airport on Deadline Day… …Bamba Dieng now returns to OM. pic.twitter.com/bGSelKpV6p — Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) September 2, 2022 We reached an agreement, but after the agreement was not recorded Longoria explained that Nice did not want to validate the transfer agreement, that Dieng had not been ruled out because of his situation but that it was a sporting choice by Tudor. “We would be more comfortable if we had sold Bamba Dieng. But we can make a very good economic result at the end of the season. These are different medical visions, he judges. Nice considers one thing, we consider something else. In training, he tried to do a backheel and he injured his tendon. It’s the only injury. In all medical tests, our doctors have deemed him fit for high competition. Doctors in Senegal also considered him fit. But there are different medical views on the player. I don’t know what happened yesterday. No, but there was an agreement, the player wanted to go there (to Nice), we found an agreement, but after that the agreement was not finalized. Then there are open markets and he can be recruited as a joker. For my vision of football, which is also that of Tudor. the president must be the president and the coach must be the coach. The only decision we made together was no longer a single player in his last year of contract. We never made the decision to dismiss a player. He is a good player, he is African champion. but there are changes and it is up to the coach to make the technical choices, each match, each training session. If it wasn’t like that, it wouldn’t work. Luis Suarez, we considered it to be the best option to improve the squad. It’s a question of profile. We are very happy with Luis Suarez.
