No links, no quotes, no substance

(In the link) how is it public knowledge he's waiting for another side when Mercatro reported he was waiting for another team yet L'Equipe reported he was very close to signing and that the terms were favorable

Capoue: Waiting on Atletico Offer, Fiorentina enquire, talks with Cardiff

Several developments have emerged today regarding the transfer situation of Etienne Capoue.

It is general knowledge that Toulouse on Tuesday had already accepted a proposal from Cardiff for their prized defensive midfielder which amounted to €12m overall. The player initially refused to negotiate with the Premier League side but was then advised to listen to what the Welsh outfit had to offer to him.

It is understood that Etienne Capoue is awaiting Spanish side Atletico Madrid to match Cardiff’s €12m offer as he has already had advanced contract talks with the Spanish side who missed out on their initial defensive midfield target Jeremy Toulalan when he was snapped up by Monaco. There are concerns that the Atletico may not be willing to pay €12m for the player however.

A recent development is the interest from Serie A side Fiorentina who have lodged an official enquiry as to how much the player would cost them.

The player has listened to Cardiff’s provisional contract offer but he wants to stall for as long as possible.

The lad doesn't want to come here, it's pretty obvious. Might be different if we've established ourselves in the Prem, but right now that's not the case.

He's not coming,.we move on.

Great article. The parts I loved the most were the quotes, the interview with Capoue himself and the interview with Fiorentina in regards to their interest. If only more journalists and news outlets were as bang on the money as this.

Could not see a date on that article
It is common knowledge fiorintina made an enquiry last week
Maybe when they were told the price they gave up
Nothing really new here
