More problems for Malaga. Tete Morente, who was being his most prominent player in the post-pandemic, will not be able to play in Lugo by contract, a variant of what is colloquially known as the 'fear clause'. The La Línea player did not disassociate himself from Lugo to sign for Málaga for the remainder of this season and another. But this three-way agreement (Lugo-Tete-Málaga) included an agreement by virtue of which he would play dressed in blue and white in the match next Tuesday at the Anxo Carro.
Another drawback for a Malaga that is in a delicate situation increasingly closer to the descent. There are five days without winning and three points out of fifteen counted. And a staff full of injuries and physical problems. Dani Pacheco, Benkhemassa and Aarón Ñíguez are still out and Luis Hernández reappeared among the cottons against Extremadura in the 86th minute. Reasonable doubt for the umpteenth final against Lugo. Setbacks happen. Luis Muñoz, who had to retire, suffers from a muscular overload in his left leg. Sergio Pellicer admitted that he will have trouble reaching Lugo.
The signing of Tete Morente for Málaga had a lot of merit. A skillful job of the sports management led by Manolo Gaspar. This player had proposals from Ponferradina and especially Rayo Vallecano (who was counting on including him in a possible operation to sign Keidi Bare). In Lugo it will be a noticeable loss.
