Chivu chaos as Ajax deny deal Saturday 30 August, 2003
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Christian Chivu’s fate remains in the balance as Roma maintain the financial guarantees are ready, but Ajax register him in their UEFA squad.
The defender first joined Roma last month for £12m, but to this date the Dutch club has only received £2m of that sum.
Ajax threatened to bring their former captain back to Amsterdam “as Roma have not fulfilled their contractual obligations.”
Late last night Giallorossi website insisted that financial institution Capitalia had provided the necessary paperwork, but this afternoon it emerged that was not entirely true.
“We have not received anything from Roma,” assured Ajax team manager David Endt in an interview with Goalcity.it.
“This situation is incredible. We really did not expect so many problems in what was a straightforward transfer.”
Romanian international Chivu is reportedly still in the Italian Capital, but Ajax revealed they consider him to be their player.
“As far as we are concerned,” continued Endt, “Chivu is part of our squad and we have registered him for the Champions’ League.”
Time is running short, and Roma may have left it too late to change an already chaotic situation.
“Even if the financial guarantees come through,” added the Ajax director, “we might not accept them. In theory we can now negotiate Chivu’s sale to another club.”
Meanwhile, Valencia striker John Carew has put pen to paper on a one-year loan deal with an option to buy outright at the end of the season
