Venice has ultimately decided against signing Wissam Ben Yedder, ending his potential move to the Serie A club.
A setback for Wissam Ben Yedder. The former Monaco striker’s arrival at Venezia seemed almost certain, with the French forward already in town and attending the match against Roma this past weekend.
However, in recent hours, Italian media revealed that the club’s management had internal reservations regarding the player’s off-field issues, particularly allegations of psychological abuse and a rehabilitation treatment he underwent in September.
Finally, Sky Italia reported on Thursday evening that the owners of Venezia had made the decision not to sign Ben Yedder, citing these concerns as the primary reasons. The 34-year-old forward will now need to find a new destination.
