Julio Baptista’s agent Herminio Menendez is threatening to pull out of the deal if Roma don’t offer his client the money he earns at Real Madrid.
The transfer saga which shows no sign of ending has taken yet another turn.
On Tuesday, Menendez revealed that Baptista wanted to play for Roma and that wages were an issue.
Now, in an attempt to get what he wants, the agent seems to be threatening the Giallorossi and he has given them an ultimatum, Real Madrid money or forget Baptista.
The agent is also unhappy with the way the Italian side have dealt with the deal and he is furious.
“Roma can’t expect to pay Baptista less than what he earns at Real Madrid,” an angry Menendez told Il romanista.
“The money they have offered just isn’t enough. Roma knew what Baptista earns. The player is important at Madrid and he is part of the Selecao.
“If Roma want him they have to pay him the wages he earns at Madrid.
“I don’t want my player to lose out by moving to Rome. It’s Real money or nothing at all.”
Menendez is trying hard to win the mega money battle but the Italian club are tryng to work out a deal so that everyone can go home happy.
It’s unlikely that the Giallorossi will bow down to the agent’s pushy demands even if the deal threatens to go up in smoke.
