Joselu’s disconnection

Joselu Mato has scored half of Glorioso’s goals this season. 12 of 24, but he’s on a complete dry spell. The worst record of Galician refers us to the period between February and June 2020. The forward has gone 621 minutes without scoring this season. Two years ago he chained 694 without doing it and, last year, 644. If this Saturday he does not hit the target before minute 73, he will beat this negative mark.

The player was the protagonist last summer when he rang to go to Sevilla. The club lowered its termination clause when a Champions club was interested, but the Sevillians did not scratch their pockets. If the operation had been closed under the terms offered by the Andalusian entity, Alavés would have been left with just 5 million euros after paying a toll to Newcastle, the English club from which he came.

“They have not kept the word they gave me but I will work hard to get the permanence in Vitoria”, Joselu assured in his day. The divorce with the club, since then, is obvious. Especially with its Sports Director, Sergio Fernández. Along the way, he has become the top scorer in the club’s history in the First Division this season. But his last goal dates from February 13, against Valencia in Mendizorroza.

The first that has tried it, once the winter market is over, is Celta. He offers you 2.5 million per year and three seasons. In similar numbers it has moved the Valencia. Own Alavés had offered him 2.3 and the same number of campaigns. But the one has taken the lead right now is Espanyol and, according to what has been leaked in Barcelona, ​​the amount is below 5 million. We will have to see later if these amounts are true or science fiction.
