The agent of Jackson Martinez has spoken of his disappointment with Porto’s reluctance to conclude the striker’s €35m transfer to Atletico Madrid.
Luis Henrique Pompeu confirmed on Tuesday that a deal had been agreed to take the Colombian to the Vicente Calderon, but he admits the hold-up has been on the part of Pinto da Costa, the Portuguese giants’ President.
“I faxed [Porto] a formal offer of €35m [from Atleti] to activate Jackson Martinez’s buyout clause, which has been clearly stipulated since last year,” he told A Bola.
“For me, it was a surprise that the Porto President wouldn’t meet me. I demand his respect and that he fulfils what has been set out.”
Not that I still want JM, but it is good to have them taste some bitter medicine. Didn't them play the same trick on Milan too? Maybe Galliani asked Porto president to do that.
