Las Palmas runs out of gunpowder

One of the big problems that UD Las Palmas registered last season was the excessive dependence on the goal in Jonathan Viera, in the first section of the season, and by Rubén Castro, in the “post Covid era”. For this reason, from the sports management the search for players with goals and overflows must be one of the maximum to be able to aspire to the next season at higher levels.

Once the non-renewal by the artilleryman Rubén Castro is completed, who has exercised a unilateral clause in his contract in which he left the club to listen to different offers by not accepting a new salary reduction, the UD needs to look for different alternatives, although it is still negotiating with the islander and will be tried by all media. It must be remembered that the club asked its players last summer for a salary reduction and, later, after the break due to the health crisis, for which Many players do not welcome a third cut in wages in less than a year. Logical, on the other hand.

With this situation of uncertainty and the search also for a way out of Araujo, which does not count for Mel, but has a high salary and contract until 2023There is no other choice but to capitalize on efforts to renew the lead by forced marches.

Thus, players such as Dani Ojeda, who recently expressed his desire to return to the island, but has one year left at Leganés, and the Betis youth squad Robert González, who would arrive on loan, are the first names that UD manages to begin the 'operation renewal'.

If you look at the data, the yellows finished the league in ninth position, being the tenth highest scoring team, with 49 goals, but most of them capitalized by are five players who probably will not be next season, as They are Rubén Castro (15), Jonathan Viera (10), Narváez (7), Pekhart (5) and Pedri (4). In addition, Benito (2), Varela, Eric and Kirian and Mauricio Lemos (1) complete the list of directors.

As the president of the UD Las Palmas, Miguel Ángel Ramírez, has commented many times, it is necessary to sharpen the ingenuity to supply the number of goals that players of an enormous quality have guaranteed this year.
