VCT 2024 restructuring: Derke expressed desire to stay with Fnatic if transfer to Vitality does not happen

Various reports are surfacing daily on social media, including news about player  Derke  potential transfer.  Fnatic  manager CoJo reacted to this on X, commenting on a report from an overseas user regarding issues with Derke transfer fee.

Despite receiving numerous offers from teams in Europe and America,  Derke  prefers to play for Vitality. However,  Fnatic  is not showing readiness to negotiate. Reports indicate that Derke has expressed a desire to remain on the bench for Fnatic if the transfer to Vitality does not go through.

The only team Derke wants to play for next year is Vitality. In all other cases, he hopes to remain on the bench. Vitality continues to raise the transfer fee, but Fnatic is not willing to concede. The likelihood of reaching an agreement is less than 50%.

noted CoJo

According to CoJo,  Derke  has rejected all offers from teams other than Vitality, believing it is better to stay with  Fnatic  if he does not succeed. If Vitality is unable to secure Derke , they may turn their attention to player xeus , who is also drawing interest from other teams.

CoJo emphasized on social media:

We will not obstruct player transfers for sporting reasons and will not change the transfer fee depending on the team. We simply expect that the team interested in signing the player will pay the transfer amount.

Currently,  Derke , who is 21 years old, first announced his joining Fnatic in April 2021. Since then, he has led the team as a primary duelist for nearly three years. Throughout his career, he has played hundreds of matches, demonstrating consistent performance and versatility.

In August of this year, he announced his readiness for a transfer to teams in Europe, America, and Asia , but no significant news has emerged since.  Derke , regarded as one of the best duelists in the world and with experience winning global tournaments, remains in the spotlight as he awaits further news about his career.
