STAR TREATMENT
The player was already in the Portuguese city this Saturday, where he attended the match played by his new team and won 2-0 against River Ave. At the beginning of the operation, we saw the different treatments given by the Colchonero team in the native Melilla and the one found in Portugal.
The Spanish international player in the youth categories was received as a star. It was given a ‘9’ by ‘Os Dragoes’. Small joke in a club with real legends who wore that number, like Radamel Falcao. The Portuguese club shared some photos in which he can be seen with Andoni Zubizarretaclub’s sports director, chatting with him.
Then, in the box, he was presented to the fans, who gave him a warm welcome with applause and cheers, as he saluted. There is no doubt about that Samu it’s for him Porto a striker who is a star in the making.
For its part, in Athletic It is understood that the sale is a necessity at the moment to make room on the salary bill for the signing of a central defender –Lenglet– which is the most urgent thing. In the red and white club they estimate that this is a great operation, six million euros were paid for it and they can earn 25 in total. Maybe it wasn’t as much money as he was willing to pay. Chelseabut with the red and white entities they understand that it is a necessary bet at this moment, to give it an outlet. Not knowing how it would develop in the future, even though the signs were good, it was understood that it was a necessary evil to sell him now. Time will tell if the Athletic whether he made a mistake or not.
