Ahn's future causing anger and confusion

First Published: Jul 15, 2002

Perugia say South Korean World Cup star Ahn Jung-Hwan has to report for training this month or be punished.

Ahn has hired four agents to try and set up a move for him away from Perugia after the Italian club said they were sacking him for scoring the winner against Italy at the World Cup last month.

The 26 year old has been linked with Anderlecht and Chelsea but Perugia scrapped plans to sack Ahn and now want him back despite his reluctance.

The Serie A side say they have paid $1.6 million to sign Ahn after a two year loan spell but his Korean Busan I.cons deny any transfer fee has been paid and they retain his registration.

Perugia manager Alessandro Gaucci says the player must return to his club by July 28th.
