Fran Sanchezsports director of Real Valladolid, appeared before the Spanish press and in his statements, which were reproduced by the club’s official accounts, he referred, among other things, to the impossibility of buying the pass for the Ecuadorian midfielder Gonzalo Plataset at 10 million euros (11,296,350.00 dollars) by the owner of his pass, Sporting Lisbon.
“Gonzalo Plata played the other day against a country like Brazil and I think he played a very good game; a player who is with us in Second. That game doesn’t change anything about our interest”, Sánchez explained.
“The last day of the market a First Club called us asking for Sergio Leon. Regarding the situation of Gonzalo Plata, they also asked us, but there were no firm offers. Plata is a very young player, who has to improve many things and for me it is also a challenge to help him personally to continue being a good player and a team player”, said Sánchez.
Regarding the concept of the Ecuadorian, he said, “he is a humble boy, who is learning and everything has gone very quickly, his life has been hard at the beginning. We are very happy and we should feel lucky to have a player of his level with us, but he also has to come to be an important player for the team as he has done at some point”.
He reiterated that having the Silver pass will be very complicated: “The call option right now I think it doesn’t make much sense to talk, we have the purchase option and it is difficult for that to happen, I tried to lower (the price of the pass) as much as possible in case we could execute it and then sell, obviously there is nothing wrong. The club is in a situation that it is unlikely that he can buy 10 million (€) and keep the player. We have to be realistic that we are in a great club, hopefully this situation of being in second will change and the club continues to grow, ”said the official.
Finally, on the subject of Plata, he stated that “It is unlikely that the club will be able to face an operation of this magnitude, it is an exercise in honesty, you never know until the end. We are in the step that the boy is focused on the competition, he continues to grow and offer your talent to the team”, he detailed. (D)
