A bizarre transfer soap in Spain and Switzerland. On Thursday morning both Spanish Hércules and Swiss Lausanne Ochy announced the arrival of Rafidine Abdullah.
The defensive midfielder left Waasland-Beveren last year and has been without a club ever since. Until Thursday, because there are even two clubs that have welcomed him. Lausanne Ochy placed a photo of the born Frenchman at 11.36 am, who would have put his signature under a commitment until mid-2021.
Only fourteen minutes later, at 11.50 am, Hercúles announced that Abdullah is completing a trial period in Spain. Photos show that the seven-time international of the Komoren is actually on the training field of the club.
It is not clear how the misunderstanding may have arisen. The Swiss club, which comes out on the second level, seems to have the best papers due to the signed contracts. Among other AS reports that the midfielder will soon board the plane from Spain to Switzerland. He seems to have to explain a few things there.
