The sentimental card that Alaves is playing to secure their star reinforcement this summer
The Alaves team is using the sentimental card to reach their star reinforcement this summer. Through their coaching staff, they have already contacted Toquero to convince him that he would be a key piece in the team and that his return home (the forward is originally from Vitoria) would be celebrated by his fellow countrymen. Toquero got married to an Alaves woman a few weeks ago and he sees finishing his career as an albiazul player with good eyes. The lehendakari terminated his contract with Athletic last Friday, a clear sign that he already has an agreement with another club. The Liga Adelante will welcome him with open arms after his stint at San Mames, where he gained the affection of the public for his dedication, despite his limited skill.
Leganés is also playing their last card
Asier Garitano sees Toquero as an ideal player for pressing high. Both clubs are also competing for the loan of Moran, whom Athletic loaned to Leganes last year. Toquero will clarify his future next week in a press conference where he will review his time as a lion.
