Wolverhampton Wanderers were forced to cancel a training session after striker Tolu Arokodare refused to leave the pitch while pushing for a move away from the club.
The Nigeria international reportedly sat down during the session and demanded that Wolves allow him to join Fiorentina after the Premier League club rejected a bid from the Serie A side.
Wolves had already accepted an offer from Turkish club Trabzonspor, but Arokodare is believed to prefer a move to Fiorentina.
As reported by BBC Sports on Wednesday, the incident led new Wolves head coach Cesar Peixoto to terminate Monday’s training session as the club continued preparations for the new season.
Arokodare will not feature in Wednesday’s friendly against Maidenhead United as Wolves assess the situation.
The latest controversy adds to a difficult period for the striker at Molineux.
He was previously disciplined in April following a confrontation with young forward Mateus Mane.
Arokodare joined Wolves from Genk for £24 million last summer but struggled for goals, scoring only three league goals as the club finished bottom of the Premier League and were relegated.
The situation presents an early challenge for Peixoto, who replaced Rob Edwards last month and is tasked with guiding Wolves back to the Premier League at the first attempt.
