The mercato period in strong championships ended on the last day of January, and Rapid could sell the player in Belgium, for the last hundred meters. The negotiations failed, and the football player clarified the reasons.

Antonio Sefer, unhappy with the salary offered by Zulte Waregem

Rapid and Zulte-Waregem agreed on the transfer of Antonio Sefer, the Belgian club offered 700,000 euros for the midfielder.

In the final hours of the mercato, Sefer did not reach an agreement on salary and preferred to stay in Julesti.

“I consulted with the club because I don’t have an agent. The amount offered was too low, it was close to what I was making at Rapide, so I didn’t go. There were negotiations until 12 at night, I spoke with the coach, with the manager there, they really want me.

From what they have told me, there will be further discussions in the future and I will probably go in the summer. Yes, it’s about them (no: it’s about Zulte Waregem). They still want me. I spoke until 12 o’clock at night and with the sports director there, they really want me and said that we will keep in touch.

Fingers crossed that they stay in the first league and hope to complete the transfer in the summer. I consulted the club and the club said they will support me no matter what decision I make.

He told me to take my time because time is very short, we cannot decide so quickly. They came with an offer, I had to hurry, I had a plane at 5, and then at 9. They pushed me to sign. They also advised me, helped me and said that I will definitely have something else in the summer,” Sefer told Digisport.

Sülte Waregen are 16th in the first division of Belgium, who were the first to be relegated, with 20 points after 23 stages.
