Setback for Malaga. Tete Morente goes to Elche. The player said goodbye to his teammates and coaching staff after making the payment of his termination clause: € 500,000. Malaga has already made it official on their official channels.
The signing of the Cadiz by the club from Elche, advanced by Malaga today, it dislodges Malaga, which is going to be without its most destabilizing and outstanding footballer. And you must dive into the market to find another of the same characteristics and who is willing to accept a reduced token.
The end of La Línea arrived at La Rosaleda from Lugo in the last winter market and it has been one of the few joys that malaguismo had won in a particularly complicated and turbulent season due to circumstances known to all. He had a contract until June 30, 2021. Tete Morente was the most prominent in last Sunday's defeat against Tenerife.
Cifu also has an agreement with Elche
Elche, in addition to Tete Morente, is also considering the incorporation of Cifu, included by Málaga in the ERE. The right-back, who arrived at Martiricos in January 2016 from the Elche club, has practically completed his return to Martínez Valero as sources close to the talks have confirmed to AS. The operation is at the expense of the player closing his separation from the Blue and White club.
The arrival of Cifu will underpin the right side of Elche after the departure of Óscar Gil to Espanyol. The operation will help Malaga to release another chip and gain another hole in its squad, which is still missing a good handful of additions.
