Deportivo Alavés closed the winter market with some news. Thomas Tavares, which was on loan from Benfica, left Vitoria and ended up at the Farense de Portugal. Facundo Pellistri, 19-year-old Uruguayan, arrives on loan until the end of the season. He was trained in the Peñarol de Montevideo but now belonged to the Manchester United. He is a right winger with a lot of future and talent. He has self-confidence and ability to overflow.
During Monday afternoon it was leaking that Adrián Marín left for Granada. During the month of January, the interest of the Valladolid. The operation allowed to release an amount that caused the approval to the loan of Iñigo Córdoba, who arrives from Athletic. Footballers like Jota, Burgui or Guidetti. Those players who are released in June were candidates to leave to leave, at least, an economic footprint in Vitoria. With Adrián Marín, in fact, this was the case because it was a transfer.
That also affected Abdallahi, which went from the first team to the subsidiary and, from there, to ostracism. He's set apart and can't count on Iñaki Alonso. The fact that Pellistri calling in the subsidiary at the token level has also caused the departures of Viti and Lupu. By not being able to release just a salary mass in Alavés de Primera, some savings have been achieved with the march of the first to Canadian Ottawa and the second to Nàstic.
Alavés has faced a problem with the salary limit, which exceeds almost a million euros. That has clipped his wings when looking at the market. One of the direct consequences was that, in case of having raised a good amount for the departure of a Lucas Pérez type player, he would only have had 25% to make the immediate expense. If, for example, 10 million euros would have been entered, could only have been used in this month of January 2.5. Lucas has never asked to leave but if any entity had arrived with a lot of money, the operation could have been performed as almost happened last season with Barça. In the end, Braithwaite arrived. The operation was due to injury, off the market.
Abelard commented last Friday, in the preview of the game against Getafe in Madrid, that I did not expect any incorporation and that he dreamed of saving the category by pulling the template he has. Hours later the arrival of Pellistri. And, almost at the last minute, that of Iñigo Córdoba. Abqar, from the subsidiary, was also called up for the Alfonso Pérez clash with the aim of closing the list since Lucas Pérez was injured in the last training session and Laguardia also traveled with some discomfort that, in the end, they also did not allow him to enter the starting eleven. Facing Friday against Valladolid, he returns Edgar.
