Biabiany’s agent to CM: “He was requested by Antonio Conte, but there was no time”

The agent of Jonathan Biabiany, David Bega, spoke with Calciomercato about his client’s situation:

“It’s true that West Ham are interested, it is also true that Chelsea wanted him. It was a specific request of Antonio Conte, who has also spoken to him to try to convince him, but it was too late to go to the Premier League. The request came late Sunday night, Tuesday night, the market closed. There was no time. Palermo has requested him, but it was impossible from an economic point of view. China instead? No, it could be an idea, which then did not materialize.”
