Pacheta wants to strengthen his midfield and these are his options
The coach of Royal Valladolid, pachetahas the goal of strengthening his midfield on his agenda, and if it is not like monchu, it will be with another. This has been determined by the coach from Burgos, who after the departures of Fede San Emeterio and Rubén Alcaraz, the blanquivioleta club has been practically naked in its core.
The signing of Majorcan midfielder seems complicated, and despite having 800 minutes this season, the grenade won’t let it go that easy. The player arrived in Los Cármenes in the 2021 summer market, from Girona, and little by little he has earned the trust of Robert Moreno. Given this, the Valladolid club has activated its plan B.
The alternative to Monchu is at Espanyol and Valladolid is starting to move
Although the pucela sports management will continue to try Monchu’s operation, at the same time they will be launched by Fran Mérida. The Catalan is not counting for Vicente Moreno, who has only played 301 minutes in 8 games, in more than half a season. The departure of this midfielder becomes easier, since he is a clear discard of the Valencian coach.
At this moment the parakeet squad has 7 members in the midfield, and Mérida is one of those who plays the least. His contract ends in June, and his club would agree to let him go to make some cash. His base price is barely one million euros, and he could even leave for less than that, as long as he leaves some money in the Espanyolist coffers.
The coach of Valladolid will have to choose between Monchu or Merida
Neither has been ruled out, and they still appear on Pacheta’s agenda. However, in a more detailed analysis, Fran Mérida seems easier since his team has him in the starting folder while Monchu is considered an essential piece in the team’s scheme. The two operations are possible, but with the clock ticking relentlessly, the one from Barcelona is the most viable.
If he opts for the parakeet midfielder, the player will wear his jersey number 10 so far in his career and number 7 in Spain. Mérida began his professional career at Arsenal and from there he has gone through Real Sociedad, Atlético de Madrid, Sporting Braga, Hércules, Paranaense, Huesca, Osasuna, and Espanyol.
