The almost 40 minutes of Imanol Alguacil's press conference left yet another surprise in the form of bad news for Real. The club will not be able to sign, nor did it consider it as indicated by the Oriotarra, to replace the federal loss of Luca
Sangalli, which will be off the field of play until at least the beginning of 2021.
The txuri urdin entity presented the donostiarra's federal resignation in case it was necessary to incorporate a player who currently plays in Spain and in competition that belongs to the LFP (First or Second) although it was not in his plans to replace the youth squad. Sheriff blown up any theory about the possibility of signing before the end of the competition: “They have told us that we cannot sign because they consider that the injury of Luca it is not long lasting, ”he said. The coach did not want to enter to assess the decision: “It is not for me to comment on it,” he added.
The club was awaiting the final decision, which was appealed, although Anoeta's offices feared that the resolution, once again, would be unfavorable to Txuri Urdin's interests. The final verdict, after evaluating the relevant medical part of the player, falls to the Professional Football League, which has a specific medical commission that determines whether the type of injury is among those that give you the possibility of signing. Although it is not only the only requirement to be able to incorporate a new player to the squad, there are other more peculiar criteria such as the type of injury or the recurrence of the same that can tip the balance to one side or the other.

The celestial ones resorted and ended up signing Nolith, something that is not understood when compared to the injury of Sangalli, which will be K.O., until 2021 after its operation. Imanol He did not want to assess the decision, but hinted that the club does not agree with the resolution. The reason could be that Sangalli He has already suffered a similar injury twice.
