Agent of Juventus' Camoranesi blasts Birmingham

The agent of Juventus veteran Mauro Camoranesi has blasted a representative of Birmingham City over a failed transfer.

Camoranesi was set for a shift to St Andrews but Blues boss Alex McLeish pulled out of the deal and now the players agent, Sergio Fortunato, has blamed Birmingham's Italian rep Vlado Borozan for breaking the deal.

"I don't understand the words of this man (Borozan). If he knows the reasons for the break in negotiations and can't say, it's better for him to shut up," Fortunato told Sky Italia .

"There is only one truth: first they told us that Camoranesi would earn so much, then when we went to Birmingham that figure became half.

"If I organise a meeting in Turin and they tell me a figure, then I meet with Juve and come to an agreement with them, then I go to England and they tell me another number then the deal is blown.

"It's not like we went to Birmingham with Camoranesi for a walk. You can see that this guy is not accustomed to dealing with important players. Things changed there."
