Cyle Larin is one of Real Valladolid’s most passionate players. The Canadian striker will arrive in the city on Friday and is expected to report to Pezzolano on Monday, along with Olaza, El Yamiq and Plata (Fresneda will have more days off). And, while his options for staying are open, it looks like leaving will be the safest route. “He has a contract. Firm offers have arrived for him; 2-3 clubs have given us figures but so far no agreement,” said Real Valladolid sporting director Fran Sánchez, adding that “there are the possibility of continuing and leaving if a good offer arrives”.

He was one of the protagonists of Fran Sánchez’s press conference, after Boyomo’s presentation. Another was Fresneda. “Clubs have contacted us to ask about him,” said the sporting director, but added that “the player and agent side are focused on a range of clubs they like the most.” To date, no offer has come from a club. he wants to evaluate. This is why we are not in the negotiation phase”. For Real Valladolid, the right-back is ‘an asset for the club. He has the chance to continue and if a big offer arrives, it must be valued’.

Another of the main players was Amallah: “The desire of the club and the maximum effort is that he continues. I hope he stays. He feels special and loved by everyone. We would like him to continue .”

And the fourth was Garri, the young youth team for whom the club received two offers, one in January from Copenhagen and another now from Atlético: “We rejected both”. In fact, Fran Sánchez assures that he has “a lot of confidence in the young boys. We have shown that we are committed to them. We want them to grow but there is a process. I would like it to be fast. And some of them get to the first team and consolidate.” The one who will stay safe is Torres, who will soon have a first-team record.

Pezzolano, involved

The coach has also been on the agenda for a club, including Vasco da Gama. Fran Sánchjez was also questioned on the subject: “I asked him personally and he told me that his will was to continue here. He is involved in the project and has his clause. But he didn’t tell us he wanted to leave. He is implicated when it was true that they had contacted him.
