For a couple of seasons the manager has had him on his personal agenda, and now is the perfect time to go for his signing, since he was left at the mercy of any team due to the relegation of his club.
Since he played for CD Atlético Baleares and then for Celta B, this midfielder has always been on the agenda of Juan Carlos Corderowhich sounds for Real Zaragoza 2023-24. This is Jordan Holsgrove, a 23-year-old Scottish footballer, who has just been relegated with his current club, Pacos Ferreira from Portugal.
Due to a clause in his contract, if the Portuguese team allowed himself to be relegated, the Scottish midfielder could leave so his contractual obligation is signed until June 30, 2025. Well, that is precisely the starting point where Cordero will begin to manage this signing. Fran Escriba already examined the player’s profile, and gave his approval.
Cordero thinks that Holsgrove prefers to play in the second division of Spain (Zaragoza) than in Portugal (Pacos Ferreira)
The regularity that the British midfielder had this season under the orders of Jorge Simao was relatively positive. He added 1,934 minutes spread over 27 games, where he scored 2 goals and 3 assists. Obviously he was the starter in most of these matches, thanks to the security he gave in the midfield every time he stopped there.
For these reasons, the Portuguese team does not want to get rid of the player, and they would already be working on persuading the young Scotsman. However, the white manager has already communicated on several occasions with Holsgrove’s agent, to start negotiating his move to Zaragoza. At the moment the former Celta B is priced at just 500,000 euros.
Zaragoza’s advantage in the signing of Holsgrove according to Cordero
The Zaragocista sports director thinks they have a certain advantage to convince the 23-year-old driver, over what Pacos Ferreira can do. This is because the young Briton played several seasons in Spanish soccer, and knows his bases. Let’s remember that he was at Atlético Baleares between 2019 and 2020, and then he went to the Celtic B team playing from 2020 to 2022.
At the moment Jordan Holsgrove has not decided anything, and his environment has not yet revealed what will happen to his future for the next season. This means that if he continues like this for the next few weeks, it will be understood that he wants to continue in the Portuguese club, and play in the second division of the Portuguese country. Even so, Cordero does not lose hope and will continue to stick to the operation.
