Samu Omorodion He entered the elite just over a year ago. It is on Metropolitan wearing the Granada shirt and against Atlético de Madrid. Such was the potential seen in young Samu that Atleti paid 5 million of his clause. Still inexperienced to play under Diego Pablo Simeone went on loan to Alavés. Led by Luis García Plaza, he scored 8 goals in 34 games. Very good numbers considering that this is his first year in the Primera, that he is still 20 years old, that he does not always play 90 minutes and that Alavés is not the team with the most formation in the category.
He scored 8 goals and not 20 because he still needs to refine his aim in the final meters, but in other respects he is unstoppable. His body, his momentum and his power make him unstoppable when he is shocked or in space. Some virtues that have not been noticed by the countless teams that have asked Atlético de Madrid about him. After rejecting offers of almost 40 million, which the club started asking for the ‘colchonero’ and after his transfer to Chelsea fell through at the last minute, the winner of the gold medal in Paris with Spain, left for 15 million in Porto on a strike. move Of course, the rojiblancos keep 50% of the player and reserve a percentage on a possible future transfer. A good deal in the economy, but seeing that the striker can mark an era, it may not end up being so much. Time will tell if this was a historic mistake or not, but paying such a high price for Julián Alvarez while having Samu was a risk they were willing to take.
Great start in Portugal
Samu’s first month at Porto shows that the adaptation period for him is non-existent. In three games, three goals and a great display of strength, power, physicality and purpose. He played 117 minutes, seeing the goal once every 39 minutes. A scoring average that puts him ahead of players like Soares and Falcao, to whom he has been compared. He is the youngest to score three goals in a short period of time. In Porto they are sure that they will sign a player who will help them hit the metal and stop Gyokeres’ Sporting de Portugal. What seems clear is that the Spanish team has a guaranteed striker for time.
