Newcastle scupper Geremi's Turkey switch

Jan 5 2010

by Lee Ryder, Evening Chronicle

NEWCASTLE United utility man Geremi is understood to be desperate to bring his Toon nightmare to an end after a switch to Turkish side Ankaragucu collapsed in farcical manner. The Chronicle understands the £58,000-per-week former Real Madrid man hopes to try to resurrect the move which would end his three-year stint on Tyneside. Geremi is keen on the deal to join up with the Turks, but the Ankara side jumped the gun when unveiling the ex-Toon captain to fans – the news on Sunday night coming as a major surprise to United. It is thought United and the Turkcell Superliga Club had not agreed a suitable financial package for Ankaragucu to buy out the remainder of the 31-year-old’s contract – which meant the deal collapsed. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Newcastle officials released a statement last night claiming the African was still their player. A source at the Turkish club told the Chronicle today: “We are shocked the deal has come to a standstill. “We thought everything was agreed and Geremi was very happy to join us. “We will be hoping to speak to somebody at Newcastle to see where we stand. “He definitely wants to join us and we want him.”
