Ibrahima Ba's agent has publicly accused Strasbourg, a club under Blue Co, of secretly altering the player's contract after an agreement was reached, reducing the annual salary by 33%. The agent also denies claims that Ba failed his medical examination, stating that the player underwent a 4-5 hour medical and was initially told everything was normal. The agent alleges that the club later used health doubts as a pretext to cancel the transfer, and that the media announcement of a failed medical was false. The agent further notes that Ba's former coach, who moved to another club, sought to sign Ba for a club-record fee, contradicting health concerns. The dispute has led to the transfer being canceled and the player returning to Portugal.
