Espanyol's recent La Liga performance has not been stable, able to beat the powerful Valencia 2-1, will also defeat the relegation team Celta 1-3, the most important task for espanyol this season is to complete the relegation in La Liga, Wu Lei's team currently ranks 11th in La Liga, nine points ahead of the relegation zone. In order to further enhance the competitiveness of the team and achieve the goal of the season as soon as possible, the Spaniard finally has to make a big move in the winter window.
This time, the president of espanyol, Chen Yansheng, has promised to give the team at least 10 million euros to strengthen the team's winter window. Although this money is not very large, under the epidemic, the financial situation of the teams is very tight, and the value of the players is generally reduced, so the money is already quite impressive, and the Spaniards can find one or two strong and experienced players in the transfer market. Winger Castillejo, who currently plays for AC Milan, has become espanyol's number one target, with the Rossoneri priced him at €6 million.
At the Espanyol's front line, there is now no second player who can score steadily except for De Thomas, Puado, Nbarba, Morón, and even Wu Lei, who are not comparable to De Thomas, so Castilejo is the team's wing killer that Moreno envisions. The Espanyol winger, who is only 26 years old this year, has gradually faded out of Pioli's rotation during his time at AC Milan, with only 5 appearances so far this season, no goals and assists, and only 122 minutes of cumulative appearances, and even Wu Lei has gained 444 minutes.
Castilejo's ability is not bad, he debuted in La Liga Malaga club, and then joined the powerhouse Villarreal, a total of 125 appearances in La Liga in his career, scoring 9 goals, delivering 13 assists, one man alone 22 goals, his assault ability on the flanks is extremely strong, he has a good ability to shoot inside, has a good one-on-one passing skill, the technique under his feet is also passable, and he is a winger that the Spaniards need very much. Currently worth €5.5 million, AC Milan is eager to sell it for no less than £6 million in order to get his money back.
This is a perfectly affordable price for the Spaniard and with his extensive experience in La Liga, it will be a good value for money deal. For Wu Lei, castilejo's arrival will make him happy, because the two are both winger type players, and Wu Lei can learn a lot from him in order to make faster progress. What's more, Castilejo's situation is very similar to That of Wu Lei, who has scored 1 goal in the Copa del Rey this season and cannot cut 1 assist, while Castilejo has no goals or assists at all.
Therefore, the arrival of Castilejo will also make Wu Lei feel some comfort, the two can also form a healthy competition in the team, because both are left and right can play, in the future games, perhaps fans can also see the Spaniards flying on both wings, Wu Lei and Castilejo also hope to become the best partner at the front end, last season Castilejo followed AC Milan to win the second place in Serie A, his joining will definitely be able to help the Spaniards to the next level.
