Nacho Fernández’s future is already clear, he will play next season for Al Qadsiah in the Arab league. Joselu’s future is also beginning to be defined: Real Madrid executed the purchase option of 1.5 million euros for the striker linked to Espanyol. “It’s not that I have doubts, it’s just that it doesn’t only depend on me. Madrid has signed two strikers [en referencia a Mbappé y Endrick] and will be planning the season this way. I hope it can be resolved,” Joselu had explained last week in an interview with Diario As. So, to help the attacker – Espanyol wanted more money for his transfer – Madrid fished out Joselu to resell him for the same amount. value to Al Gharafa of Qatar. A gesture with the 14 that no longer had a place in the Chamartín locker room. The transfer market, however, is still closely following Spain’s expedition in Germany. There are few showcases better than the Euro, few teams more attractive than the Red.
“Honestly,” clarified Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain; “I’m not worried that there are players waiting for their future. They are great professionals and have a clear objective. From within the concentration only the feeling of selection is transmitted.” It happens, in any case, that the leadership of Morata and company keeps the entire group focused on the Euro, although there are La Roja footballers who have their future up in the air. And there are not a few, the Nacho issue has been resolved, the Joselu issue has been resolved, there are still at least nine cases to be resolved, that of 40% of De la Fuente’s staff.
Morata was precisely one of the first Spanish players to speak without problems about his future. La Roja had not yet beaten Croatia (3-0) and the forward was honest: “If Atleti is looking at so many forwards it will be because I am not a priority for the club. I suppose that what appears in the press is because they are talking about it. [lo directivos de la entidad madrileña]. In October I will turn 32 years old and I cannot stay at Atlético to not play and not to be a priority,” said the captain of Spain. From the outset, to warn a market that he already knew how to seduce (Juventus, Real Madrid and Chelsea), on the 7th he opened the scoring against Croatia in Berlin.
There is one player from La Roja, however, who is in high demand. And it is not Lamine Yamal, who has a contract with Barça until 2026 (a 1 billion euro clause). The name in fashion in Spain is Nico Williams. “I hope I can share a dressing room with Nico,” says Lamine about the possibility of the Athletic forward joining Barcelona. Williams, meanwhile, is playing dumb. “I have renewed my contract with Athletic, I am comfortable and happy. It is very strange that you ask me these questions.” But it is not only Barça who are following him, Liverpool and Chelsea are rubbing their hands. His clause? 55 million, a bargain.
Dani Olmo is going through a situation similar to that of Williams. The Leipzig player has an exit clause of 60 million. Of course, the club that wants to sign him has to execute it before July 15. “I’m open to possibilities that may arise, but I’m going to give you a hint: I’m focused on the Euro Cup,” Olmo said. The Catalan attacker is followed by Barcelona, as well as Manchester City, Liverpool and Bayern Munich. From around Spain’s 10th, they close their time at Leipzig. Dani Olmo, for his part, seeks to regain his place in the Red team. He does it with assists, like against Albania with a beautiful goal pass for Ferran Torres.
Ferran Torres, precisely, is one of the players who closes the door to the transfer market. “It’s not that he wants to continue, it’s that I’m going to continue at Barça,” he stressed in an interview with RAC1. The cases of Le Normand are different – “La Real is something very special for me, but I don’t think this is the time to talk about the clubs,” said the centre-back – who is on Atlético de Madrid’s radar, just like that of Ayoze (Barcelona), David Raya (Arsenal), Mikel Merino (Barcelona and Atlético), Zubimendi (Arsenal and Barcelona) and Laporte (Athletic). Spain stands out in the Euro Cup and its players put themselves in the spotlight. Luis de la Fuente, in any case, is not worried.
