The days go by and the deadline is getting shorter. The midnight of the first of September is getting closer and Girona is trying to close the open fronts that remain to be closed. From the start it was necessary to find a pivot to replace Oriol Romeu and an attacking man who could play both forward and winger. However, the situation has taken a radical turn. In this sense, it is known that for days Girona has been behindEric Garcia. The 22-year-old Barça centre-back was interested in filling the void left by Romeu in the middle of the field and reinforcing the central axis when needed, however, it transpired yesterday that the interest in Martorell was born following a very treat that the club has received for santi good. The Uruguayan, 24 years old, has an offer from Wolverhampton Wanderers de la Premier League that Girona sees with very good eyes because it would allow it to breathe financially and be able to face with guarantees the rest of the operations it lacks. Under contract until 2026, after renewing in January, i a clause of 25 million euros, the transfer of Bueno to England would leave a big dent in the drawer of the Girona team. The operation is so on track that it would be a surprise if it didn’t close before midnight on Friday.
All in all, then, the last three days of the market in Montilivi are the most distracting. The table in the office of quique jail suddenly filled with folders to solve. The freshest and which did not go public until yesterday, that of Santi Bueno. The Charrúa defender is one of the club’s most important assets and last season he had a remarkable year on his debut in the top flight. The Uruguayan’s performance and potential have seen a number of teams knocking on his door this summer. Recovered from the injury that has kept him out of action for the last three months, Bueno was called up to Sevilla’s field last Saturday, although he did not play. Now things get complicated because the offer received from Wolverhampton is more than tempting. In fact, it is a treat for both Girona and the footballer. The two clubs were yesterday negotiating the details of an operation that would not reach the 25 million euros of the clause. It would be a transfer, however, historic for the white-and-red team. In fact, the biggest in its history surpassing the 10 million who entered from the Royal Society for Porto in the summer of 2019.
The more than likely goodbye of Bueno would open the doors to sign another central. And more considering that with Alexander Callens it doesn’t count. In this sense, Girona’s interest in Eric Garcia fits. The defense of FC Barcelona he is looking forward to playing on loan at Montilivi this season to try to have the regularity he has not found since returning to Barça from Manchester City. Despite everything, the economic conditions of the operation are very high and this raises doubts. In addition, Xavi Hernandez considers the player useful and does not see it clear to let him go. In this sense, Èric Garcia would have already expressed to Xavi his desire to leave Barça before Friday to come to Girona. The competition he has with Koundé, Araujo, Christensen and Iñigo Martínez makes it difficult for him to have much continuity this season. It is therefore time to wait for Xavi to accept losing him and, above all, for the clubs to come to an understanding when it comes to establishing the proportional part of the salary that each would pay. Of course, Barça, who also have offers for Mark Alonso, does not contemplate, in any case, losing the two defenders, because it would weaken the squad too much.
The possible arrival of Eric Garcia would cover the more than imminent departure of Bueno to the Premier League. Martorell’s is a left central (1’82) with good ball release and faster than David LopezBlind, Bernardo i Juanpe. In addition, last season, Xavi Hernández placed him in some defensive pivot game, a position in which Girona continues to look for a player. Despite the versatility of Eric Garcia and also of David López, Blind o Arnau Martinez, that can be adapted to the pivot, the white-and-red sports managers exhaust the last hours of the market to find a specific midfielder.
There is also work upstairs
Parallel to the operations of Santi Bueno and Èric Garcia, Girona continues to rule the market in search of an offensive man. Míchel’s desire is to find a versatile attacker who can play both on the left wing and as a striker. the danish Martin Braithwaite (Espanyol) is one of the names that Montilivi likes, but his box keeps him from coming. In addition, Espanyol would have rejected an offer from Lille in the last few hours, making it clear that it will not come at a low price. Girona, of course, could make an effort Christian Stuani asks out The Uruguayan is waiting to see if a tempting proposal from theSaudi Arabia. At the moment, nothing has arrived at the club.
What is certain is that between today and Friday midnight things will happen in Montilivi. And not a few. Bueno, Èric Garcia or Stuani are just some of the names of a most interesting final stretch of the market.
