Elche does not want his return to Primera to be an ephemeral step, and after closing his eighth incorporation with the Malian side Youssouf Koné, on loan from Olympique de Lyon, has made every effort to strengthen the lead.
The one chosen by the technical secretariat of Elche is the Argentine Guido Carrillo. The Southampton footballer does not count for the English club, which is trying to release the 29-year-old. Your intention is to collect a small transfer, since he paid € 22M in January 2018 to Monaco for the attacker, but it is difficult for any club pique since the contract ends at the end of this season. So if you can't find a buyer, Southampton would be forced to give the letter of freedom to Guido Carrillo.
Your salary, an inconvenience
If this situation occurs, it is when Elche would enter the scene. Carrillo is a footballer like Jorge Almirón, who sees in his compatriot the ideal footballer to lead the Elche attack, with Lucas Boyé and veteran Nino. Elche has even explored the possibility of getting a loan but Southampton's economic requests throw back the French-green entity for the time being. So Elche is waiting, while probing other options since the deadline is October 5. Meanwhile, he has asked about the Egyptian Mostafa Mohamed.
If Carrillo finally resigns with Southampton, Elche would consider making an economic effort in the footballer's salary with the possibility of amortizing it in a future sale. Account in favor of Carrillo, the fact that he already knows the Spanish league since for two seasons he played on loan at Leganés. With the pepineros he scored 10 goals in 60 games but he did not finish exploding in front of goal. In Elche he would have an unbeatable chance of putting all his talent to good use again. The forward has other offers, mainly from his country, but there is confidence that the influence of Christian Bragarnik and Jorge Almirón will attract the forward.
