“There is interest from big clubs for Loren”

Loren Zúñiga, father and agent of Loren Zúñiga, current striker and scorer for Atlético Malagueño, referred to the current situation of his son, fixed in the Under-19 National Team. His current streak in front of goal and the call of the national team have made him monopolize many eyes in recent times. This was confirmed by his father in the microphones of BE Malaga: “The selection is a very important showcase. As you play, things come out. There is interest from big clubs, It is normal. But I can’t tell you if they’re going to buy it. There is a lot of interest, but for now there is nothing indicated. Still left for the next market. It’s totally true. There are representatives who mark the goop. Loren has a clause for me high because I’m not rich. It’s three million euros. There are many ways. The example is with Pablo Torre, the boy from Racing who took Barça. He had 10 million, but they paid less and with bigger bonuses. It depends on how the player earns being promoted is worth more or less. A player with 8-10 goals in the Second Division is worth more, it’s obvious.”

The good form of the youngest of the Zúñiga is not only serving as a claim for many clubs, also is generating some debate given the problems with the goal that the first team of Malaga is suffering throughout the season. For now, the young talent from the Blue and White youth academy remains in the subsidiary. “Perhaps people with experience are being trusted. I am a prudent person, I am not going to force anything, logically. The first ones who want Loren to be on top will be the leaders. For whatever reason, he is not here, the best thing that can happen is that he is in the first team. For me, he is qualified to be a starter in the first team. But it is a question for the mister”, exposed his father.

The father of the promising Málaga footballer leaves sporting decisions in the hands of the club’s professionals, although he sees his son as “prepared”. “He is in the starting U-19 team, there are players with many minutes in the First and Second Divisions on that team. I have been in football for 40 years and I know that Loren is ready. His dream is to score goals for the first team. At Atlético Malagueño he is happy, he plays almost everything. They are very happy with Loren and they have made a great effort to renew it until 2024. It is as if they tell me what I have to do at my job. You can advise me if you are a friend, but everyone has their job. It is not correct for me to call the sports director or Duda asking for explanations of which he should be the owner. Of course, I can’t do that. I have more players at Malaga. Yesterday a kid was renewed, Ismael Molina, a cadet. When you talk about a footballer, it’s because an offer arrives, a renewal… Important issues. I do not speak nor do I want to speak about sports, it is something very delicate ”, he concluded.
