Tuesday’s blow to Dépor has left three days to be able to get his most desired signing: Lucas Pérez. The rest of European clubs will have 24 hours less, since for them the period to sign in ends on Thursday at midnight. At that time, the possibilities for teams such as Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Olympique de Marseille or Lille to join the Monelos striker will disappear. All of them continue to press for the striker, although Lucas’s desire is unequivocal: he wants to return to Deportivo. An unbreakable will like that of Arsenal preventing Lucas from leaving for Coruña.
Lucas Perez He only thinks about wearing the blue and white shirt again. Throughout the market it has rejected offers from teams such as Everton or Fenerbahce, in the case of the Turkish team with an offer that included the payment of its clause and an increase on the token that it receives in the London club. Lucas tightens the rope from within and has made it clear to all members of the discipline gunner that under no circumstances wants to continue in London. In Lucas’ environment, they want to make the player see that his stubbornness to return to Dépor, without considering any other option, can lead to a blank season, at least until January, when the winter market opens. A circumstance that would end his dream of being able to play the World Cup in Russia.
In the Arsenal they are reluctant to allow Lucas to return to a club that last year did not provide any facility for the attacker’s transfer. The British paid more than the 20 million clause, 21.3 to be exact, by taking over the amounts derived from the training rights. Money that they had to deposit in a single payment, when their desire was to distribute that disbursement in two installments. The Londoners insist that as long as there are other offers on the table, Lucas has alternatives if he really wants to have minutes and leave Arsenal. Clubs like Levante are aware that Lucas is an impossible target, but as long as they continue in the fight, they block his arrival at Dépor. And sometimes, preventing a direct rival from being reinforced is celebrated as one’s own signing.
