New episode in the Jackson Muleka saga. A saga that begins to drag on. While he seemed to be leaving for Burnley (like Samuel Bastien, whose transfer is on the right track), with whom Standard had reached an agreement for four million euros, the Congolese striker will finally leave for an internship with. .. the Standard in the Netherlands this Monday.
In question: the non-finalization of the transfer to the Championship club (English D2) trained by Vincent Kompany. In finalizing the deal, a total agreement might not be found between the three parties, namely the two clubs and the player.
According to Turkish media, Besiktas are still in the race to sign the man who made a strong impression in the Süper Lig last season, registering 12 buses and delivering five assists with Kasimpasa (where he was on loan from Standard).
Back to square one, or almost, in this complicated file. This is why Jackson Muleka will be part of the Liège group of 28 players heading to the Netherlands on Monday morning. A first indoor session will be given in the followingnoon, around 4 p.m. following the meal and the siesta. The first on-field training will take place on Tuesday. With Muleka, therefore.
Ronny Deila saw him already gone
A situation that even surprises Ronny Deila, who confided in the departure of the striker following the friendly match lost on Saturday once morest RWDM (1-2). The Norwegian coach of Standard had even mentioned the future replacement of the center forward.
“Like Samuel Bastien, I think he will be replaced. We are looking for players to bring quality to the team and we have to be calm. The transfer window is very long and sometimes we have to wait until the end of the August or the beginning of September to see the clubs move”specified the new coach of the Rouches, aware of the situation. “It’s the hierarchy of the transfer window. The big clubs shop quickly and the others have to wait a little longer. We work all the time to get reinforcements, but we need time to make the best decisions and strengthen our team. “As a manager, obviously I would like to get new players as soon as possible, but you have to sell some players first to have money to spend.”
But that of the sale of Jackson Muleka will not happen immediately. And it will not ultimately come from the Burnley coffers.
