Enner Valencia, the ‘plan B’ of Newell’s Old Boys

“The leaders of Newell’s Old Boys from Rosario are managing the loan contract of striker Mauro Icardi, who currently plays -also on loan- for Galatasaray in Turkey, a person close to the board of directors told telam”, publishes the Argentine news agency about the interest of the so-called leprous team on the artilleryman who will be 30 years old next February.

Icardi, whose pass is valued at $18.5 million, according to the specialized portal Transfermarkt, records four goals in half a dozen games played with the Istanbul squad. According to the Infobae portal, Icardi “signed a loan contract with Galatasaray until June 30, 2023, but some personal conduct would have bothered those responsible for football at the Turkish club”, which Newell’s is trying to take advantage of to repatriate him to Argentina. , where he has never played in the first division.

Ángel Mena denies that Emelec contacted him to return to the club in 2023 and leaves this message to José Pileggi’s board of directors

If the efforts of the popular Rosario team for Icardi do not prosper, the second option, as a transfer, is also in Turkey. According to the Télam news agency: “In the event that the negotiations for Icardi do not prosper, the leaders of Newell’s have a plan B: the Ecuadorian striker Enner Valencia, who plays for Fenerbahçe.”

The man from Esmeralda, who, unlike Icardi, did play in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, has a market value ($3.1 million) six times less than the Argentine striker, whose appearance in celebrity news is more common in those that are published in the sports sections.

At Fenerbahçe, the Tricolor forward has 41 goals scored in 91 official matches and fourteen assists. At the age of 33, while Icardi was on vacation for the national tournaments because of the World Cup, Valencia scored goals in the FIFA tournament.

The footballer who emerged from Emelec scored a brace for Qatar in Ecuador’s 2-0 win in the opening match of the World Cup. It was the first time that a World Cup host country had lost in its presentation game. Enner scored again in the 1-1 draw against the Netherlands and with two goals established himself as Ecuador’s biggest net breaker in the World Cup, with six goals (three in Brazil 2014 and the same number in Qatar 2022).

The 33-year-old striker is also the National Team’s all-time top scorer (38 goals).

Gabriel Heinze, a former World Cup player with Argentina, was recently hired as coach of Newell’s, a club that has the Ecuadorian Djorkaeff Reasco, who has barely scored two goals in 21 games with Rosario. Therefore the search for a more effective striker. (D)
