Argentinian full back Gino Peruzzi's move to Sunderland appears to have fallen through at the last minute. The defender has demanded significantly more money than was initially offered to him.
It is understood that Sunderland agreed a $3 million fee with Velez, but no agreement was made with the player.
“It’s the first time that something like this has happened to us,” said Velez Sarsfield's vice-president.
“The player and his agent have said that what Sunderland offered him isn’t enough. This has given us several problems.
“We got to an arrangement from club to club very fast. We arranged the amount of the transfer and everything was okay between Velez and Sunderland. But, suddenly, the player and his agent have said that what has been offered as a contract to Peruzzi isn’t enough.
“If he says that what he would receive isn’t enough, we can’t do anything about that. But it’s weird because what the player will receive for the transfer is a lot of money as he will receive 15 per cent of what Sunderland pays to Velez.
“We will see what happens in the next hours because if Peruzzi finally doesn’t get transferred that gives Velez lots of problems.”
