Lucian Marinescu, the businessman of Alin Fică (24 years old), broke out after the negotiations failed with Rapid, regarding the transfer of the midfielder from CFR Cluj.
In a statement for the Sports Gazette, the businessman claims that the Rapid's leadership actually blocked the negotiations, and was disappointed how the situation went.
Lucian Marinescu broke out after Alin Fică's failed transfer: “The strangest negotiation I have ever had”
“The strangest negotiation I have ever had! From the head of the place, I, we, did not put any obstacle! We didn't block anything. The clubs had reached an agreement, from what I understood. They announced to me yesterday at noon on the last day. Yesterday, at noon, having the agreement to talk to Rapid, I also called the ones from Rapid, I explained the player's claims. They made me an offer … not what I had discussed.
I changed 4-5 messages, then, suddenly, at 9:00 pm, a message from Mauro appeared suddenly: “Lucian, the decision to make in another direction, I can no longer honor your initial offer!”. According to the agreement they initially had.
I thanked him for interest, I informed Alin. I have no argument to blame, to blame, there is time crisis, people change, they have another direction, they negotiate with more.
At my experience, I can't fall such an offer for a thousand euros or what was said there. The clubs have their strategy, the situation came out of the blue, I do not know who fed. I was in so many battles, so to speak.
In the mirror, to explain, the case of Postolachi's transfer to U Cluj. I am Postolachi's agent, along with my French partner. And the transfer made it so clear, clear.
I also suspect the interest of the Rapid towards the circumstances of paying an amount for this kind of players. And Postolachi signed for 3 years in U Cluj, how he had to be at Rapid, but you see how he negotiated there!
I can't leave it to it, it is done. That the player wins I don't know how much. Will win as much as you need. And CFR Cluj has submitted a 3 -year offer we analyzebecause his commitment expires in the summer. He will only leave with agreement from transfer to CFR Cluj, to be quiet about it.
Maybe for some clubs I am an uncomfortable agent, I will not change, but I am serious, I do not want to be denigrated. I didn't even get to talk about my conditions.
I believe that if I had a few more days, they would have aligned all about Fică's transfer to Rapid. That's it, life goes on. Alin remains important at CFR Cluj, he will put the shoulder to get out of this bad pass.
CFR will have enough offers to negotiate for par. And he can renew his commitment to the current club, “said Lucian Marinescu, a former midfielder in Rapid in the 1997 – 1998 season.
Sources from the scenes: The leadership of the Rapid did not even want to hear about the claims of Alin Fică's businessman
According to the sources of the Sports Gazette, the businessman Lucian Marinescu asked for several performance bonuses. Also, the agent also requested an installation premium of up to 100,000 euros.
The bosses of Grant did not want to hear! In addition to the salary of 12,000 euros a month, they offered Extra 500 euros a month, for the payment of the rent. The only bonus they stipulated was to pay 150,000 euros for signature over two years, if the midfielder had agreed to extend two years with the Giulesti.
