Italian media reported that there was an agreement between Salernitana, owner of his pass, and Eibar, of the Spanish second division, for the Chilean striker. But the operation failed.
This Friday, September 1, the pass book in the major European championships was closed. With a large proportion of Chilean players linked to a club, the uncertainty lay in what the future held for the national footballers who have no place in their current squads. One of them is Diego Valencia who was waiting for a decision leave the Salernitana of Italy. When the possibility of emigrating arose, he fell just at the fatal deadline.
The transalpine press had let it be known that it was about to materialize the departure from the old Catholic University to Eibar, which plays in the Spanish second division, where Fabián Orellana played for several seasons. But the operation was cancelled. According to the slogan of the party newspaper Tutto Salernitana, the granata squad had reached an agreement with the Hispanics and they had even exchanged the corresponding documents.
The reason Valencia’s exit was watered down is because it was not possible to file the contract because everything happened after the deadline. For comparison, on another scale, it was a situation similar to the failed transfer of goalkeeper David De Gea from Manchester United to Real Madrid.
In this way, Valencia remains in the team of Portuguese Paulo Sousa, with the possibility of being able to find a place in one of the markets still open, already out of first-rate competitions on the Old Continent. A few weeks ago, options arose in the Italian Serie B for the striker, at clubs like Palermo and Ternana, which ultimately didn’t come to fruition.
Although the lanky striker featured in Salernitana’s pre-season friendlies, including scoring in the 1-1 draw with Frosinone (July 29), He was not taken into account in the call-up for Serie A matches. In the previous league, in his first season in Italy, he played only 12 games, none of which started.
Another Chilean also uncertain about his future is Pablo Galdames, who returned to Genoa after his loan spell at Cremonese, although he has no place in the store Rossoblu.
