Lucas Pérez: “It has been a pleasure to be part of the history of this club”

Lucas is free to negotiate his incorporation to another club. He has not paid anything for his freedom but he has not been compensated by Alavés, who wanted his departure. The Sports Director of the Babazorra entity, Sergio Fernández, has been offering it but has not closed with any institution. Al Betis, for example, has tried to sell. But the striker has a very high salary. Now you can decide for yourself.

Pérez has said goodbye through social networks and has already packed his bags. Yesterday he contacted people around him and journalists to thank them for their treatment. “We are sure that we will meet again in the future,” he sent to Diario AS. Today has been more explicit. On Twitter he posted that “it's time to say goodbye to the Alavés family. It has been a pleasure to be part of the history of this club. Thank you for making it possible. Thanks to the club, my teammates, the coaching staff and the fans. I wish you the best with all my heart. “

Now it is necessary to reinforce the vanguard of the team as soon as possible to face a difficult season. With Joselu still at the forward, Guidetti in an unknown performance plan and a Taichi Hara a little green, the normal thing is that a good alternative is sought considering that Lucas has released a significant salary bill.

Some players like Edgar and Tachi have also publicly said goodbye to the Galician but it has not been something very common throughout today. It is also true that many footballers are already fleeing social networks. Lucas has attached three photos in the farewell Tweet: with Wakaso, with Joselu and with the entire squad from last year after mathematically signing the permanence in the Centennial year.
