ECUADORIAN midfielder Oscar Zambrano’s move to the Premier League is stalling over a row about his slice of the deal.
Bournemouth are keen on the young talent while Luton Town have been chasing him for months.
Both clubs are willing to pay £5.5million to buy him from Ecuador’s LDU Quito.
However, the 19-year-old is due 15 per cent of the sale — and is being asked to waive that to get his dream move.
Zambrano’s camp think they are entitled to the cash and will not budge.

Luton do not want to make up the loss and the Cherries will have to do the same.
The midfielder is also wanted by Manchester United and Brighton and Hove Albion.
It has been claimed that the two clubs see Zambrano as having the same potential as Moises Caicedo.
The Ecuadorian made a record £115m move to Chelsea last summer from the Seagulls after becoming one of the top prospects in the Premier League.
Brighton beat United to the signing of Caicedo back in 2021 from Independiente del Valle.

This was down to the Red Devils refusing to match the £4.5m price tag.
The club will be hoping to avoid the same mistakes as they chase a long-term replacement for Casemiro.
Zambrano even came through the same football academy as Caicedo.
Earlier this week, SunSport also reported that Luton have hired a top agency to help in negotiations.
