Roma striker Gervinho has missed out on a move to Abu Dhabi based side Al Jazira due to some unusual contract demands.

The 28 year old was set to leave Rome to join the Gulf side before his contract demands reportedly ended the potential deal. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Ivorian wanted a helicopter and a private beach as part of the deal. The club pulled out due to Gervinho's "obscene" demands.

The €13million deal would have guaranteed Gervinho a massive pay rise, but the former Arsenal stiker looks set to stay in Rome for the time being.
