The first-hand relief for the Andalusian side would arrive for free
The sports management Granada C.F. wants to reinforce his right side and get the relief of Quini Marin. The Andalusian has been left alone after the return of Santiago Arias to Athletic and the possible departure of Víctor Díaz. In this way, the signing that has remained as a free agent after not reaching anything with Elche, interests Aitor Karanka.
With the possible signing of Carlos Akapothe club from Elche has opened the doors to Antonio Barraganwho does not see with bad eyes landing in the Nasrid set. At 35 years old, the man from Coruña knows that getting a new opportunity in LaLiga Santander is difficult but not impossible. However, the Andalusian team’s proposal is so far the only one he has.
The lack of minutes made Barragán not continue at Elche and now he wants to be Quini’s partner at Granada
With a total of 1,269 minutes spread over 19 games, including 3 in the Copa del Rey, Antonio Barragán decided to step aside and not continue with the Franjiverde team. At 35 years old, the player believes that he still has the conditions to continue in official competition and therefore Granada’s option is well seen.
The side from Coruña does not care that the Nasrid team has relegated, as it is a great challenge to land there and achieve the goal of being promoted next year. However, he is aware that the fight for the title with Quini is not going to be easy. The man from Fernandez played 2,306 minutes in 32 games with the red and white shirt, and at the moment he is the undisputed starter for Karanka.
Granada is sure of the signing of Barragán and Quini supports him
In addition to coming at zero cost, the signing of Barragán is a good complement for when Quini cannot be there for different reasons. Besides, it is a motivation for the side from Fernandez to continue at an optimal level if he wants to continue as the starter. The Basque coach knows that A Coruña can contribute from his experience and seniority.
If the operation was successful, Antonio Barragán would reach his eighth team in more than 16 years of professional career. Let’s remember that the winger has gone through English football with Liverpool and Middlesbrough. As for LaLiga Santander, he has dressed in the shirt of La Coruña, Real Valladolid, Valencia, Betis and Elche.
