Espanyol’s summer market has been agitated in recent weeks after several months without arrivals or departures. The problem with the salary cap no longer exists with the entry of CVC money and the parakeet club has been able to close new incorporations such as those of Manu Morlanes, Aleix Vidal or Sergi Gómez.
Lluís López has also left for Zaragoza or Víctor Gómez for Málaga. The club, for now, has been able to retain the biggest fish such as Raúl de Tomás, with whom there was speculation about a possible exit despite the promotion achieved just a few months ago. The forward himself already affirmed that he was staying and that is where the anguish of losing the top scorer ended.
But a week before the closing of the summer transfer market, what was not expected is that the name of Embarba would sound like a possible exit. According to ‘Marca’, Valencia thinks of him in the event that Guedes finally agrees to leave for Wolverhampton. The Portuguese player is not clear about his departure to the Premier League and is consulting with his environment what to do with his future. An environment that encourages you to accept the proposal of the entity now directed by Bruno Lage. Portuguese coach for the endless Portuguese clan who are active in the ‘wolves’.
Guedes, Portuguese, is the priority objective for the English club that wants to make an economic effort for him. If so, Valencia, who would not make any effort to retain him, already prowling the transfer market in search of a replacement of guarantees. A necessity seeing the needs of a template that is already too short.
Embarba goes into action
That is where Embarba enters the board of the Valencia board. It would be the emergency replacement proposed by the club and that is also to the liking of José Bordalás. The Mestalla coach already tried to sign him when he was sitting on the Getafe bench.
Adrián Embarba arrived in exchange for ten million in the 2020 winter market where the Perica directive tried, at the stroke of a checkbook, to save the furniture from the decline. A goal that was not achieved but Embarba continued to wear the blue and white jersey in the Second Division. With the elastic of the Catalan team he has 60 games in which he has scored 11 goals and has distributed 18 assists. He is a key player in Vicente Moreno’s schemes and the club does not want to let him go. ‘Marca’ points to an offer of 8 million euros. Espanyol paid 10 and has a clause of 40 million euros.
