Elche, who had seven Argentine players in their squad at the start of last season, could see a significant drop in the number of these players for next year, given the six it currently has. three end contracts and another just entered of coach’s plans.
Those who seem confident in their continuity are Ezekiel Poncewhere the Elche club only paid for the move to Spartak Moscow, and Lucas Boye, the team’s offensive benchmark in the last two seasons.
boyehowever, is in the orbit of some First team, so the international also does not guarantee its continuation, even if the club it wants must pay 25 million euros.
The two exits taken for granted are the ones at the end Paul Piati, which barely counted in the year and a half he played for Elche, and the striker Guido Carrillo. Both contracts will expire on June 30 and the club have not taken steps to keep them.
The big question is the future of Javier Pastore. After a very careful season, full of injuries, the player showed his quality in the final stages of the competition, even though the club had doubts about his physical performance.
The coaching staff and the owner, Christian BragarnikThey understand that, because of his prestige and quality, he is not a player to play a marginal role in the group, but even so he was offered a lower contract.
Nor is it clear the future of ivan marconewho despite having another year of contract with Elche was hardly satisfied with the coaching opportunities Francis Rodriguez.
The footballer has not hidden his interest in returning to competition in Argentina if an interesting option emerges.
All of these players joined, with respect to those who started last season, Darius Benedettowho returned to Boca Junior in the winter market, and the goalkeeper Axel Werner, who left in January for Arsenal de Sarandí.
A few weeks ago, and in an interview with Efe, Bragarnik justified the declining presence of Argentine players by pointing out that over time they have “more knowledge and information” about the European soccer market and that if they were mainly in their country’s market in the beginning “it’s because there The team reunion time is the most I know”.
