KEAMMAR Daley’s long-awaited move to play overseas has hit a snag, following a breakdown of talks between his local club Tivoli Gardens and English League One side Preston North End earlier this week.

Tivoli Gardens, the local premier league champions, had received an offer for Daley at the start of the week, following a two-week trial, but club president Edward Seaga was not totally pleased with the offer and made a counter proposal to the English club.

Seaga, who is also chairman of the Premier League Club Association (PLCA), said the agent in charge of the negotiations, did not perform all that well, and as a result, he had a request from Preston’s chairman to personally visit him here in Jamaica to sort out the matter.

“When the deal broke down with the club in England (Preston North End), I gave it (the job) to another agent,” Seaga told the Observer yesterday.

“But I gave him a timeline, which is to the end of next week, for them to come up with something,” Seaga explained.

“But the (Preston) chairman was very upset with what took place with the (first) agent, so he offered to come down to Jamaica and talk with me about it,” Seaga pointed out.

“But I told him that it was not necessary now because it was in the hands of another agent and I told him I will be in touch with him later.”

Daley, 23, who was nurtured during his early playing days at Meadhaven United, scored once in two games while on trial and impressed the Preston coaching staff and was widely expected to put pen to paper quickly.

But Seaga, who is also a former prime minister of Jamaica and minister of finance, said at present, they are looking for a deal that is more satisfactory for all the parties involved. But if nothing materialises, he said, they will go back to the original deal with Preston, who have left the door open.

“If they (agent) don’t come up with something satisfactory, I have the choice of either going back to the original club (Preston) or go somewhere else,” he noted.

“But we can’t go further from where we are at now, so that’s why I’m allowing them to act,” he added.

Seaga, though, remains confident that the talented attacker will soon get his dream of playing overseas, and says the player is seeing eye-to-eye with the club on his transfer situation.

“He is very much on the same page as we are. He wasn’t happy with what was taking place. But hopefully in a week’s time we can know what the next move is… But the doors remains open at Preston if nothing else materialises,” he reiterated.
