Hot on the heels of Atalanta’s bid for Matt O’Riley it was revealed today that the club have turned down an approach for Reo Hatate from an unnamed Russian side.
Reo this week spoke of his desire to play at a higher level, but I don’t think he was thinking off Russia, and if he did entertain the thought of heading to Putin’s controversial state, it would be for one thing and one thing only, and that would be money.
Losing Reo would be as big a blow as losing Matt
The club quite rightly kicked out the offer and won’t want to sell yet another vital player with the departure of Matt O’Riley imminent this summer.
Reo just recently signed a new long term deal and the club hold all the cards regarding the situation.
Losing Reo would be as big a blow as losing Matt, as it would prove impossible to replace both with a similar calibre of player.
Of course if we were to receive a bid that we couldn’t afford to turn down then things might be different, but for now the club have done the right thing in booting the offer into touch.
Just an Ordinary Bhoy
