Ismialia, Sept. 28, GNA - Players of the National U-20 team, Black Satellites, has settled on dialogue in search of a review of their bonuses only a day after playing their first group game qualifier against Uzbekistan.

The Satellite failed to collect their match bonus for the game, in order to renegotiate for a befitting gratuity for the three- week fiesta.

The GNA Sports can confirm that the players are negotiating for about 50 per cent increase of the bonus they received during the African Championship and the World Cup qualifiers.

Several meetings had taken place, within the last 24 hours between the players and the team's capos and the GNA Sports can confirm that both parties have reached an agreement.

Though sources at the team's camp remain tight-lipped on the new agreement, it is believed that several things were taken into consideration before arriving at the agreement that tilted in favour of the players.

The source said there has been communication back home to ensure that the players smile at the end.

The Satellites were given $1,500 each as bonus during the African Championship that took place in Rwanda early this year.
