Wolverhampton Wanderers showed interest in Boulaye Dia toward the close of the last transfer window. The Premier League team made a loan offer with a buy-back requirement, but Salernitana rejected it.
This was confirmed by the Serie A side’s sporting director, Morgan De Sanctis, who was also not pleased with Wolves’ behaviour.
Dia was unhappy with his club’s decision to reject Wolves’ offer and hasn’t featured for them since them.
After the international break, the Senegal international initially refused to return to Salerno as expected and travelled to France, citing personal reasons.
The 26-year-old has returned to the club but won’t be involved when Salernitana face Frosinone later today… due to fitness issues.
That’s according to Sky Italia, who say the Italian club’s decision is also influenced by the ‘intolerance’ shown by Dia after his failed move to Wolves.
The report states there’s been ‘no decisive clarification’ between Dia and his employer, and Salernitana president Danilo Iervolino’s desire is to find a solution for ‘everyone’s serenity’.
Sky Italia say the player is ‘almost withdrawing’ and ‘unmotivated’ in training, and they add there’s a risk the frontman won’t feature for the club until January. This could give Gary O’Neil’s side another opportunity to sign the player in the next window, and perhaps at a lower price.
