Laurienté enchants: agent explains non-arrival at Torino

Sassuolo striker demolished Roma in Sunday’s match

Armand Laurienté was one of the big stars in Sassuolo’s victory against Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. His agent, Roberto Meloni, in an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, revealed a backstory of his landing at the Emilian club last summer and his failure to join Torino.

“The problem was with Lorient. The president did not want to deprive himself of him, he could not give an effective price to the player, he did not respond to any official email,” the prosecutor explained. Not even to Sassuolo: there was never a meeting with Lorient.”

“He kept changing the point to unnerve the parties and keep Armand. With Torino then everything cooled further when the president of Lorient wrote to a Granata fan asking him for an account, on Instagram.”
