Schalke “irritated” by QPR collapsing deal for Ba

Health risks have been cited as the reason for the failed transfer.

Despite Schalke and Queens Park Rangers already agreeing on a transfer for Pape Meïssa Ba twice, the striker’s move will not go through. 

The English second division club informed the Royal Blues of their decision on Wednesday morning, August 13.

The English second-division club’s justification for the collapse is also causing controversy, as the health risk was apparently too great. 

“We are very irritated by Queens Park’s actions over the past two weeks,” commented Frank Baumann, the Knappen’s sporting director.

“This phase was characterized by delays without substantive explanations, as well as days of non-response to calls and official messages,” he added.
