Ewarton have survived but are in deep financial trouble. Rumor has it that they will clean up their roster by June 30, and Barcelona's Barcelon has stepped in at the right time, proposing to buy the "fat dragger" Amado Orana for 40 million euros (about HK$340 million), a price two-thirds lower than the original 60 million euros (about HK$510 million), in an attempt to force AIWT to give in. This price is two-thirds lower than the original bid of 60 million euros (about 510 million Hong Kong dollars), with the intention of forcing AIC to give in.
The Daily Sport reveals that Ewarton have been deducted eight points for the season due to financial problems, but the crisis is not yet over. They have to sell players by June 30 to quickly meet financial rules, but the high asking price is making it difficult to find suitable buyers. Barcelona have gained an insight into this predicament and have cleverly exploited it.
Amadou Orano is one of the core players that Ewarton are planning to sell, with a price tag of €60 million. However, this price was a deterrent for Barcelona, who had limited financial resources and could not afford it. So Barcelona turned to pressure on Ewarton, and sporting director Dicko urgently contacted Amaduana's agent, offering to buy him for 40 million euros. Under time pressure, Ewarton may have to compromise.
