The Azulona forward is going through a crisis by only having one cash, since the man from Madrid will return to Italy, while Unal’s injury is long-lasting. However, the coach from Alicante has already found the striker he wants in his squad.
After fulfilling the immediate objective of remaining in first division, José Bordalás begins to assemble his new squad where Borja Mayoral will not be. After several debates between the coaching staff and the sports management of the Getafe CF, They came to the conclusion that the Parleño should abandon the blue template sooner.
And it is that despite the good records of Borja Mayoral, scoring 9 goals and 2 assists in 38 games, José Bordalás was not satisfied with his work. The former Real Madrid also wants to leave Alfonso Pérez, despite having signed a contract until 2027. As for his replacement, the Alicante coach has already identified him.
The signing that Bordalás wants is much better than Mayoral, according to his criteria
The azulón coach has set his sights on the services of the Argentine attacker Lucas Boyé, who was relegated with Elche CF, in a campaign to be forgotten. In the 2,580 minutes that he played this season, he had 7 goals and 4 assists. Some records that are not bad, but that did not help him to save the category of the franjiverde group either.
The gaucho striker has one year left on his contract at the Elche entity, but he doesn’t want to spend it playing in the second division. The news that Getafe wants him has been the best offer that has come his way so far. But coach Sebastián Beccacece takes this into account in his 2023-24 plan. Negotiations will start in the next few days.
Elche asks 10 million for the striker that Bordalás wants
At this time, the former River Plate is valued at 10 million euros, with one year remaining on his contract. From the general directive of the franjiverde team at the head of the also Argentine, Christian Bragarnik, they have planted themselves on the price of those 10 kilos. A sum that in the blue offices they do not intend to pay in any way.
Ángel Torres (president of Getafe CF) knows that Lucas Boyé’s salary will be unaffordable at LaLiga Smartbank, so they will have to sell. On the other hand, asking for 10 kilos for an attacker who wants to leave Elche and also has a year left on his contract, is a ridiculous price. In this way, the Madrid team sends a counter offer of 4 to 5 million.
