On January 26, Beijing time, in the list of transfer rumors of the well-known foreign media "Transfer Market" in Germany, Wu Lei's name appeared impressively. This also confirms from the side that Wu Lei is indeed likely to leave Espanyol in the winter window, and the team that intends to "national football brother" is La Liga Alaves. And Germany's "Transfer Market" even said that the probability of Wu Lei's transfer to Alaves has reached 19%.
This season, Wu Lei has gradually become a marginal player in espanyol. As of the current 22 rounds of La Liga matches, Wu Lei has only started 3 times, played a total of 293 minutes, did not score goals or assists, and in the last 7 rounds of matches, Wu Lei has not been given even a minute of playing time.
In the Copa del Rey match, Wu Lei started 4 times and contributed 1 goal and 1 assist, but the team has now been eliminated, which also means that if he stays in the team, Wu Lei's playing time in the second half of the season will be more limited. Because of this, Wu Lei's winter window left the team to find a club that can play football, which is a wiser choice.
As a veteran la Liga powerhouse, Alaves ranks second from the bottom of La Liga with 17 points from 4 wins, 5 draws and 13 defeats in 22 rounds this season, but they are only 3 points away from mallorca, who is fourth from the bottom, and there is still hope for relegation. At present, only former Real Madrid academy player Jose Lu has contributed 10 goals among alaves' strikers, and no other forward has been able to break through 2 goals. If Wu Lei joins and performs well, he has every opportunity to impact the team's main striker position, and form an exciting "one high and one fast" forward combination with Jose Lu, who is 1 meter 92 tall.
At present, Wu Lei is following the national team to prepare for the round of 12 matches against Japan and Vietnam, and as the closing date of la Liga transfer is approaching, I believe that Wu Lei's stay will soon have an answer.
