A war of words has erupted between Turkish agent Bayram Tutumlu and Roma President James Pallotta, who dubbed the furious representative “hilarious.”
Tutumlu helped broker the moves for Robin Olsen and Cengiz Under, and is close to ex-Giallorossi director of sport Monchi.
The agent went on a Twitter tirade aimed at Roma, President Pallotta, consultant Franco Baldini and new director of sport Gianluca Petrachi – all of it in Spanish.
A war of words has erupted between Turkish agent Bayram Tutumlu and Roma President James Pallotta, who dubbed the furious representative “hilarious.”
Tutumlu helped broker the moves for Robin Olsen and Cengiz Under, and is close to ex-Giallorossi director of sport Monchi.
The agent went on a Twitter tirade aimed at Roma, President Pallotta, consultant Franco Baldini and new director of sport Gianluca Petrachi – all of it in Spanish.
It seemed to be sparked by the collapse of Olsen’s loan with option to buy move to Montpellier, which suggestions from the Giallorossi that agent Hasan Cetinkaya – Tutumlu’s nephew – was asking for excessive commission.
“It’s Roma’s (Petrachi) fault that Olsen is still here. Petrachi, who are these secret agents that you want €200,000 paid to? Why not reveal their names?
“Petrachi knows the Spanish market well. Pau Lopez can’t cost more than €8m. Soon Roma supporters will know the trio who want to ruin AS Roma.
“Franco Baldini, you are a cancer to football! Everybody who worked with you can confirm what I’m writing here.
“Petrachi is a coward for telling Olsen that Hasan Cetinkaya is to blame here. You keep lying…”
Roma President Pallotta was contacted by RomaPress.net for comment on these tweets and gave a one-word reply: “Hilarious.”
This was published and then sparked yet more angry tweets in Spanish from Tutumlu.
“Pallotta, none of it interests you! Soon you will sell an historic club like AS Roma… It will be hilarious when Pallotta sinks this ship! I’m sorry you swapped out De Rossi and Totti for a mercenary like F Baldini! I have nothing against AS Roma!! Yes against the trio…
“Petrachi, who are the agents you promised €200,000 to? Fabio Angeleri and Franck Pelleybre… Friends of yours…?”
