Alavés wants the loan of Matheus Fernándes, from Barça

Alavés will not be able to make additions if they do not have exits. The salary limit and the management of recent years have meant that he can only use 25% of a hypothetical short-term transfer. If, for example, he takes out 10 million for a footballer, in this month of January he could only use 2.5. Not one more.

Tomás Tavares is already history in the club. He was on loan from Benfica but he hardly played with Pablo Machín and he didn't look like doing much with Pitu Abelardo either. Those of Lisbon have recovered it and now they will look for another destination. He is an international with the Portugal Under-21s and plays as a right-back. He is still very young and has to get tanned.

There are other footballers who are on the starting grid like Tachi, Adrián Marín, Burgui or Guidetti. Those who end their contract in June and do not want to renew (Jota and Abdallahi) could also be on the starting grid. If they do not continue in the capital of Alava, they will try to obtain economic profit as it happened last year with Wakaso and Chinese football. Albacete could be interested in Adrián Marín.

Rodrigo Ely's injury invites us to think about the arrival of another center-back but, as long as there are no exits, there will be no talk of entrances. Officially, there will be no reinforcements in the winter market but There have already been some names that have been linked to the Vitorian club: Ibai Gómez, from Athletic and even Matheus Fernándes, from Barcelona. In both cases, they would be transfers, not transfers.
