Eljif Elmas’ agent says the Macedonia midfielder is forced out of position at Napoli, but insists he’s worth €40m.
Elmas scored the winner in Macedonia’s 2-1 win over Germany on Wednesday.
“It’s a great moment for Macedonia. They qualified for the Euros a few months ago, and now they beat Germany,” the player’s agent George Gardi told Punto Nuovo Sport Show.
Eljif Elmas’ agent says the Macedonia midfielder is forced out of position at Napoli, but insists he’s worth €40m.
Elmas scored the winner in Macedonia’s 2-1 win over Germany on Wednesday.
“It’s a great moment for Macedonia. They qualified for the Euros a few months ago, and now they beat Germany,” the player’s agent George Gardi told Punto Nuovo Sport Show.
“It’s surprising. Elmas and Pandev are national heroes now. Elmas feels he is becoming one of the leaders of the national team, he always put down great performances," the agent added.
Elmas, 21, has 35 appearances across all competitions with Napoli this season.
“He is a mezzala and he likes playing on the left,” his agent claimed.
“That’s the role he enjoys the most. He can play in many positions, but I don’t want his flexibility to become a disadvantage.
“How would other Napoli midfielders perform if deployed as wingers or full-backs?
“When Elmas joined Napoli there was a different coach. Now, he is forced out of position in a 4-2-3-1 system, even if he always puts down great performances.
“I think Napoli have a jewell. A young footballer, a leader of his national team who often scores goals. A player like him is worth €30-40m.”
