Lucas Boye He has become one of the sensations in La Liga this season. Even though he Elche CF has not managed to improve substantially compared to last season, the Argentine has given the team a leap in quality since his arrival in the summer of 2021 permanently after two years on loan) for only 2 million euros, which which seems to be very profitable for the club in the short term.
The Argentine, who arrived from Torino where he did not perform at the level expected since his arrival, has 7 goals and 2 assists in 17 games played in La Liga this season. He is 11th in the scorers table (tied with names like Santi Mina, Carlos Soler, Mikel Oyarzabal, Borja Iglesias, Luis Suárez) and is in the top 20 of the footballers who have generated the most goals in the competition, which is a lot. say if we take into account that he has contributed in 9 of the 23 goals of his team.
The price that Elche has put on Lucas Boyé
His performance in the Spanish first division this year has made him the target of FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid in this winter transfer market. Both clubs need a centre-forward. The azulgrana team do not have a level 9 for the remainder of the season and the colchonero is having many problems due to the low level of Luis Suárez, who has the same goals as the Argentine in a team that generates much more danger. But, despite the interest they have shown, it seems that the operation will be much more complicated than expected.
Elche will only let Boye out in this winter transfer market if they pay his exit clause of 25 million euros. He will not negotiate or listen to offers for less, taking into account that they want to ensure their continuity in La Liga next season. In the summer market everything can change, but at this time they would only let him out for the aforementioned figure.
