A rain of transfers on the last day of the market, which had Cádiz as the most active team in the entire First Division with three closed signings
Atlético de Madrid managed the loan of right-back Doherty on the horn and Betis managed to loan Ayoze Pérez
LaLiga is experiencing a real lean period. Gone are those glittering signings that clubs with bad grades in the middle of the course made in winter to try to raise the number of the file. Now, the formula that is carried is that of assignments. And the ‘low cost’ reinforcements. Forced by the suffocating financial ‘fair play’ imposed by Javier Tebas, looking for the good, beautiful and cheap.
Proof of this is that the three most expensive signings in the winter market have been the striker Raul de Tomasalready signed in September by Rayo Vallecano in exchange for 8 million euros, Abner Vinícius (Betis, €8M) and Viktor Tsygankov (Girona, €5M).
Yesterday, however, in the last 12 hours the market moved in Spain and in what way. First thing in the morning, Sevilla registered the winger as loaned Bryan Gil and the midfielder Pope Gueye, whose arrivals in Nervión were already taken for granted this Monday. They join the winter reinforcements of Loïc Badé and Ocampos to give a new impetus to the people of Seville in the second round.
Another of the teams that stirred the hornet’s nest the most at the market limit was Valladolidwhich was done with the services of the midfielder Salim Amallahfrom Standard de Liège, for half a million euros, and closed the loan of the Hellas Verona pivot, Martin Hongla. The biggest prize, however, went to Cádiz: Jorge Mere, Sergi Guardiola and Chris Ramos.
The two most substantial signings were perhaps those made by Atlético and Betis. The colchoneros closed the transfer with Tottenham of Irish right-back Matt Doherty. While in Heliópolis they won the game against Villarreal for Ayoze Pérez. Manuel Pellegrini’s insistence on joining his cause was decisive in convincing the Canarian footballer, who a few days ago had everything done with the ‘Submarino’. Other operations that took place were: Seferovic (Celta), Manu Morlanes (Mallorca), José Gragera (Espanyol) and Pacheco (Espanyol).
