Uche Agbo negotiates in Belgium his continuity at Deportivo

Uche Agbo was absent from training yesterday Friday with “permission from the club.” The reason was none other than to travel to Belgium with a firm purpose: to stay at Deportivo. The 24-year-old Nigerian arrived on loan in January from Standard de Liege, the club that owns his rights. In his contract there was a purchase clause for one million euros in case of permanence, something that has not occurred. The amount, together with his salary, are unaffordable in Second B, but the determination of the midfielder to stay in A Coruña, so he will try during this weekend to find some formula with the Standard to make this possible.

In the Plaza de Pontevedra there is hope that the negotiations will prosper and the Fernando Vázquez was optimistic this Friday: “Uche would give us significant potential in the category. Talk to him and he may give the OK. We have that hope ”. The 24-year-old Nigerian struggled to find his way, but when he did, he was one of Deportivo's most prominent players. His knee injury in Tenerife slowed his progression and left Vázquez without one of his pillars in the final stretch of the season. Uche, instead of returning to Belgium, has been recovering in Abegondo with one conviction: to continue at Depor.

Mujaid and the goal

Uche's case is not the only one that is still unclear. Another player who has exploded this season is Mujaid, with whom the club has a double plan. The first would be to continue at the club, since he has a two-year contract and a termination clause of 20 million euros. The other is to prolong their relationship and “give it to a First team” to continue their progression., as Vázquez assured. The coach also acknowledged that there are doubts in the goal. Plan A would be Carlos Abad with the youth squad Alberto as second goalkeeper. The B, sign a second goalkeeper. If the one that arrives is a sub-23, it would be a hard blow to the quarry.
