Will Sean Weissman leave Valladolid in the coming days? A week remains until the end of the transfer window in Spain and in the meantime the team continues to sign strikers. After Darwin Machis, a Venezuelan national team player who can also play on the wing, the Purples added on loan (with an option to purchase) Kyle Larin, a Canadian national team striker who did not find his place at Club Brugge.
Weissman completed 90 minutes in Madrid’s 3-0 defeat against Atlético, but has recently been mentioned as a candidate for several top teams in the sub-league, led by Granada, who are desperate for a striker of his caliber. Celtic and Galatasaray have also come up as options, but in the meantime Valladolid is in no rush to release.
Sports director Fran Torres commented on the Israeli striker’s situation today (Tuesday) and said: “We are grateful for everything that Weissman did, not only to him but to everyone who contributed to the promotion of the league. He never told us that he wanted to leave, but there were moments when teams from the second division They expressed interest in him. So far no convincing offer has arrived – neither from the club’s point of view nor from the player’s point of view.”
Unlike another striker, Sergi Guardiola, about whom Torres confirmed that the option to leave is close, he still believes in Weissman. “We hope to get back the good version of Shawn Weissman,” emphasized the sporting director. “We want him to be happy and he works for it.”
The 26-year-old Weissman was the big star of Valladolid in the promotion season, with 20 goals in 38 league games, but this season in La Liga he only scored the winning goal against Almeria (0:1 in the fourth round) after returning from injury and adding a goal in the cup. The striker participated in 15 league games, but started only six.
