In the perica squad there is a place for the Mexican attacker
A few days to the opening of the winter market, the RCD Espanyol prepares to make some signings, and that of Diego Lainez could get there first. Beyond being a masterful move, the hiring of the Mexican seems necessary since one of the right ends will be leaving soon.
The barcelonian Oscar Melendo, which has a contract until the summer of 2022, you have decided not to renew. The reasons go more for the sporting than for the economic, since so far this season it only accumulates 650 minutes spread over 12 games. In this way, the offensive plot already has a place, and it would be occupied by the little man.

For the same reason as Melendo, Lainez will leave Betis and arrive at Espanyol
The Central American winger is in a somewhat similar situation to that of the Catalan in the perico club. Diego Lainez has barely played 272 minutes in 7 games, 3 in the league, 2 in the Copa del Rey, and 3 in the Europa League. His contract expires until 2024, and the idea of the Verdiblanco team is to keep him but away from Pellegrini’s squad.
In this way, Espanyol will request the transfer of the Mexican for this same winter market, and until the summer of next year. Depending on how things turn out, there will be an extension option but not a purchase option, since Betis wants to keep their sports rights. This is a good option for both the heliopolitan box and the right-handed winger.
Two rivals of Espanyol for the loan of Lainez
In LaLiga Santander there are two teams in addition to the Espanyolista club that are interested in having Lainez’s services. One of them kept an eye on him last season while he was in LaLiga Smartbank, just like Espanyol. Of course we are talking about RCD Mallorca, who determined that Japanese Takefusa Kubo did not meet Luis García’s expectations.
Behind the vermilion club also comes Deportivo Alavés, who has rights to both extremes about to terminate their contract. One of them is on loan from Manchester United, and everything seems to indicate that they will not execute a purchase option. We refer to Facundo Pellistri. Thus, the Mexican attacker has 3 options to continue his career away from Betis.
