The Spanish winger will leave AC Milan this same transfer market
Samu Castillejo It has been sounding for months to return to the Santander League and teams like Getafe CF, Valencia CF o RCD Espanyol sound to welcome the footballer. Since last summer there have been rumors about this possible return and everything seemed to indicate that it would be in the winter market when the operation would be closed. However, the player continued at AC Milan, a club with which he has another year on his contract.
This year he has only played 122 minutes on the pitch, very poor numbers for a player for whom they paid 21 million euros four years ago. Now its value has been devalued, being valued at 4 million euros. And the Italian team wants to save his high record in the remaining year of his contract, so he plans to give him the letter of freedom so that he can go to another team.
Gattuso wants Samu Castillejo at Valencia CF
Now that the Italian coach has taken charge of Valencia CF, Samu Castillejo is once again sounding like a possible signing. And it is that Gattuso already trained the footballer during his time at AC Milan, as he was one of his first signings at the Rossoneri club. But it was not only the signing of him, but also that of Leonardo, who sounds strong to become the new sports director of the Che team.
All this situation brings Samu Castillejo closer to Valencia, although it is not the only offer he has on the table. Getafe CF has also been closely following the player for months, and has not yet made a decision about his future. In addition, he also has offers from abroad, so there are many options on the table for him to continue his sports career.
The other signing that Valencia CF is pursuing in Italy
Also, Samu Castillejo is not the only signing that Valencia CF is pursuing in Serie A. As we have recently learned, Politano has also been loved by the team and has not denied the rumors that place him under Gattuso’s orders this next season. Something that has led to a sanction from his team, Napoli, who paid 20 million euros for him a year ago.
Now all that remains is to wait, but both wingers could strengthen Valencia CF’s flanks. Bands that will be weakened, as Gonçalo Guedes is expected to head to AS Roma this summer. In the same way, a new transfer of Bryan Gil seems practically ruled out, so they will have to look for new players. And Gattuso has already commented that he wants players with a profile of having failed in football.
