“Abdulai Juma Bah and his agent informed Real Valladolid yesterday afternoon of their intention to unilaterally break their contract. Previously, that same afternoon, Manchester City had officially asked Real Valladolid to open negotiations for the player.”
“Today, the Sierra Leonean decided not to report for morning training. The club studies disciplinary action”.
“The Club believes that behind the player’s decision is Manchester City, part of the City Football Group, which appears to have advised the player to take this route that places Real Valladolid in a situation of defencelessness, after having recently rejected financial offers of a higher amount. Especially because of the player, who is in a protected legal period of youth stage and who in recent times had refused to sign the professional player’s licence, as this entailed the automatic increase of his termination clause.”
“The player’s intention, supposedly backed and guided by Manchester City and his agent, has caused great disappointment and indignation within Real Valladolid, who welcomed Juma Bah with open arms and gave him the opportunity of a lifetime.”
