Peterborough United chairman Darragh MacAnthony appears to have hinted that Town striker Kieffer Moore is set to join Championship Barnsley.
Posh were one of a number of League One clubs interested in 25-year-old Moore, who has just been recalled from a highly successful loan spell at Rotherham, while TWTD has previously reported that Championship sides have also shown an interest.
Yesterday, Posh director of football Barry Fry revealed his club had agreed a fee with the Blues but they subsequently opted not to pursue the switch, MacAnthony outlining why on Twitter.
Was with Ipswich but we don’t pay players nearly 5 figures per week in wages which is what he’s getting at new club he is going toðŸ‘ðŸ». We are Peterborough United not Man United 😀. Good luck to the fella. https://t.co/Bs5MfjMnau

In a lengthy question and answer session on Twitter the Peterborough chief was later asked to give a hint regarding his alternative targets.
No otherwise Barnsley will use that championship money & nick them 😂 https://t.co/NLgiO7MdBm

In addition to Rotherham and Peterborough, Charlton, Bradford and Scunthorpe were also understood to be keen on Moore, who cost the Blues £20,000 from Forest Green Rovers a year ago.
