Gennaro Gattuso in the press conference before the Cup match against Sporting de Gijón, that the Sevilla winger, Adnan Januzaj, is not one of the options that Valencia are considering to sign him in this winter market.
“I am not going to talk about names that have another team’s jersey. These days we have talked with Corona about 50 names, about many players. I cannot talk about names out of respect for the team they are playing now. If we sign a player, he has to play and he doesn’t have to miss two months to get in good physical condition. We don’t have time and now we play two games a week. We need to bring in players who have minutes in their legs“, the Italian coach answered the Belgian player’s question.
Januzaj’s move to Sevilla was one of the most disappointing transfers in LaLiga. The player signed for the Seville team after failing to reach an agreement with Real Sociedad. After months of negotiations and despite the fact that the Basques were interested in continuing with Januzaj, the Belgian and the San Sebastián team could not come to an agreement.
On the last day of the transfer market, Sevilla formalized the signing of the winger. After 5 seasons and more than 160 official matchesThe Belgian arrived with the banner of being one of the best wingers in the competition, but his performance could not have been more disappointing.
In the first half of this season, they played only 6 games, and started only one game. Hence Gattuso’s hint, dropping that they won’t sign players who aren’t filmed in the competition.
Regarding the options that Valencia has on the table, the Italian does not want to be read: “I suggest the names, but then we have to have the money, we have to have the possibility. But the signing for the signing I think is not right. We need to sign a player who has experience and will come to help the team. Of course I want to work with a midfielder who is here and working, but if we can’t find players who will come to improve the team… why should they come? We need to find players who will come to help”, concluded the coach.
