BORA - hansgrohe reportedly demanding One Million Euro buyout sum for Cian Uijtdebroeks

The ongoing saga of Cian Uijtdebroeks, Team Visma | Lease a Bike and BORA - hansgrohe continues to rumble on. The latest news is that the German-based team are demanding a one million euro buyout sum to part with the young Belgian.

According to reports by Wielerflits, Richard Plugge's Team Visma | Lease a Bike would have offered a year's salary as compensation for Uijtdebroeks' signature however, this fall some way below BORA - hansgrohe's estimation. “However, BORA - hansgrohe now wants to receive almost ten times his annual salary,” reports Wielerflits.

Uijtdebroeks, who was been spotted training in Visma team gear on Sunday, was announced as a new signing for the all-conquering Dutch team on Saturday evening. This announcement was quickly countered however, by a denial from BORA - hansgrohe.

With Primoz Roglic making the switch in the opposite direction earlier in the transfer window in a similar kind of deal as Visma believed they had with Uijtdebroeks, either a buyout of the rider's current contract or an agreement between team and rider is needed to complete the move.

Seemingly this is a saga that could run and run. As always, we'll keep you up to date with all the latest developments in the story.
