Málaga press hard for Sekou Gassama

Sekou Gassama is the best-placed striker on the list of Manolo Gaspar, Málaga's sports director, to come to La Rosaleda. The one from Granollers has a contract with Valladolid until June 30, 2024, but it does not seem that it will have an excessive role in the plans of the coach, Pacheta. In fact, the Pucela entity bets on Cristo González, a player in whom the Costa del Sol club had also been interested. It so happens that another of the strikers who was on the Malaga's radar, Enric Gallego, has opted for Tenerife, so the deck is reduced.

Gaspar has been behind the Hispano-Senegalese for three years, 24 years old, since his time at Almería. A powerful and effective attacker who started playing, and well, in the Almeria team in his first campaign after the purchase of the club by the Saudi Sheikh Turki Al Sheikh. Portuguese coach Pedro Emanuel gave him the court and scored five goals in that league start to the 2019-20 season (one of them against Málaga at La Rosaleda).

After finishing that season, Sekou signed for Valladolid which in turn yielded to Fuenlabrada. Then he returned and was able to debut as an albivioleta in the last match against Zaragoza where he played the first 45 minutes.

The formula that is being considered is common in Malaga. An assignment with the possibility of securing a purchase option in the event of being promoted to First. If these intense talks were to come to fruition, Sekou would become the 11th Malaguista signing this season.

Other open fronts

On the other hand, Víctor Gómez, the tenth malaguista signing, has already trained with his new team. The arrival of a new right-back has activated the need to lighten this demarcation of elements where Alexander González, Ale Benítez, Ismael Casas, Iván Calero and Bilal are also found. More work for sports management. The aforementioned Alexander and Benkhemassa are not registered in LaLiga.
