At the press conference ahead of the rematch against Sint-Truiden, Omonia’s coach, Henning Berg was asked about the case of Senou Coulibaly and explained the situation.
Specifically, he stated that it is normal for offers to come in, but it is strange for them to come from a team (Rodina) owned by the owner of Paphos (see Lomakin).
At the same time, he emphasized that the team’s goal is for the player to stay, but sometimes even your top players end up leaving.
Here is his statement in full: “He trains every day, he’s available, and it’s still normal for offers to come in. The owner of Pafos, along with Rodina, made an offer, and that’s a bit strange. He’s a player who still has two years left on his contract and was one of our top performers last season. It makes sense that there’s interest. We want him to stay, but sometimes even our top players end up leaving. We saw what happened with Maé last year, for example. But now the situation is different, since the transfer window closes in a few days, and we certainly don’t want to weaken the team. For transfers like this, all parties have to agree. I can’t know what will happen in the end. We want him to stay with the team.”
