El Rayo will bet on a loan for Morro, Martín and Joni Montiel

El Rayo is shaping the project of his return to Primera. In addition to possible arrivals, the franjirrojo club he also works on exits. In that last chapter are contemplated those of the goalkeeper Morro, the central Martín Pascual and the playmaker Joni Montiel. They all have several points in common: they come from the quarry, they have youth and talent, but this season They have barely enjoyed minutes in Second. A very difficult scenario to change with the category jump.

All of them They have a contract in force and the Vallecana entity will bet on the formula of assignments, with the aim that the three players acquire more experience and continue their growth in order to have them in the not too distant future. It's more, During the last days, the name of Joni Montiel has already been associated with Sporting.

From there His presence in the League was diluted, but he had some more opportunity in the Cup. In total, the goalkeeper has played 570 minutes in six games, all of them as a starter.

The presence of Martín Pascual this course has been practically testimonial. He has barely had 490 minutes, spread over eight games, starting only in six. Catena and Saveljich have formed the starting pair in the axis of the rear, with the entry of Velázquez when injuries have allowed it. The surprise came when, with the losses of the Argentine and the Uruguayan, Iraola threw Martos there against Las Palmas, to the detriment of the young squad. “Iván is the fastest. In addition, he also gives us a start with the left and allows us to play with Cate in the right profile. He came for that,” the coach explained then. Villarreal, Betis and Celta are following him to strengthen their subsidiaries …
