Cardiff City has seen their offer for Ricky-Jade Jones turned down by Peterborough
Cardiff: So, Cardiff City tried to snag Ricky-Jade Jones from Peterborough, but their bid got shot down. Omer Riza, the manager, mentioned they had some talks about bringing him on board.
Jones is known for his crazy speed, clocking in at 22.3 mph. He’s out of contract soon, and Cardiff really needs to boost their pace. They see the 22-year-old as a perfect fit.
Before Peterborough’s FA Cup match against Everton, manager Darren Ferguson confirmed they turned down Cardiff’s offer. He hinted that more teams might be interested in Jones, especially since he could leave for free if he goes abroad.
Ferguson said they’ve offered him a great new contract, but it hasn’t been signed yet. Jones has made quite an impact with 35 goals and 11 assists in 175 appearances for Posh, so it’s no wonder other clubs are eyeing him too.
Riza mentioned that discussions are ongoing, but there are hurdles to jump over, like whether players want to join Cardiff and if they can afford them. He’s looking at a bunch of players to bring in, focusing on speed and creativity.
It’ll be interesting to see if Cardiff can come back with a better offer or if they’ll have to look elsewhere. The transfer window is always full of surprises!
