Swansea City struggles to finalize a deal for Joe Low as negotiations stall despite the player’s interest in joining the club
Low was their top target, especially with the second half of the season coming up. The coach, Luke Williams, really wants to boost the defense. They’ve already made two bids, but both were turned down. Plymouth Argyle is in the same boat, having had their offer rejected too.
So, what’s the hold-up? Well, Low is in the last six months of his contract, and Wycombe doesn’t seem to have any options to extend it. You’d think that would make things easier, right? But here’s the kicker: if another club wants him in the summer, they’ll have to pay a fee at a tribunal. Wycombe is betting they can get more money later, especially if they get promoted.
Swansea still likes Low, but they’re also looking at other players. It seems like they might walk away if they can’t get him soon. They need to come up with a better offer to convince Wycombe to let him go now.
There’s also talk about a player swap. Swansea might consider including one of their players in the deal, but nothing’s been officially proposed yet.
And with the recent departure of Wycombe’s head coach, Matt Bloomfield, it’s unclear how that will affect Low’s situation. Bloomfield and Low had a good relationship, so his leaving might actually push Low closer to a move.
