TOSome due to the passage of time, others due to a sports-economic strategy and others due to a lack of agreement. But the fact is that the month of August is already waiting for the start of the championships and the list of players without a contract has many illustrious. David de Gea, Hazard, Sergio Ramos, Juan Mata, Adama Traor, Mariano, Diego Costa… All of them are looking for a destination, but they can’t find accommodation for very different reasons. Time is running out and, although for the moment there is a margin, the nerves are beginning to appear.
Soccer is very cruel at certain times, and although these players without commitment to any team can sign after the market closes, oblivion is usually the traveling companion to say goodbye to the competition. Summer passes and we are already in the second week of August and the fight continues to find a destination. The calendar does not understand legends and is sometimes relentless.
The De Gea file
The most striking case is that of David De Gea (32 years old). From a starter and with a contract to a signature to be renewed, he has gone on to be without a team in the middle of August. With the subject of the fax and his frustrated move to Real Madrid still in memory, last June he experienced a similar issue with his renewal with United, which never came to fruition when it was announced.
Then came the attempt by Bayern Munich and the false interest of Luis Enrique’s PSG for the signing of the goalkeeper. The truth is that both ended with a very deteriorated relationship in the selection. As has been shown, the true interest of the Asturian was none other than Arnau Tenasnew goalkeeper of the Parisian team.
Degea, with 20 million euros as salary at Unitedhas gone from being the highest paid goalkeeper in the world to being unemployed and waiting for the call of a team that seduces him in sports, since in the economic issue he could have it guaranteed in arabian.
The options of Bouquets of the hand of Messi
Sergio Ramos (37 years old) is a very different case from that of the former Atlético. The central defender rejected the proposal that PSG launched for the contract for one more season, with a reduction of half his salary, with objectives in between. Since then He has received many calls that have not reached him in the sports aspect and now he is waiting to be able make the leap to MLS hand in hand with his ex-partner Leo Messi.
While that moment arrives, the Spanish central defender has not stopped working for a single day. Wherever he has been in recent weeks, he has let us see how he has worked hard to reach his next destination in top shape. His return to Sevilla has never been considered a real optionsomething that Victor Orta, sports director of the Andalusian club, made clear yesterday.
Hazard is on his way to retirement
The most striking case of these illustrious players who still have no destination is none other than Eden Hazard. The Belgian left Real Madrid through the back door, he has resigned from the national team and his steps are directed towards a withdrawal from the world of footballsomething that many think that the Belgian already did years ago.
At the moment, he has only had one proposal from Belgian football, from KVC Wasterlo Second Division. Are the MLS, but neither North American football nor Saudi have knocked on the door of a player who seems doomed to retire. If others have left a trace of continuing to enter and so on, Hazard has not.
Other players with poster and without offers
Juan kill is another of the striking cases. The world champion in 2010, he played for Galatasaray last season. Without any news about his possible destination, his defensive and calm character will lead him not to rush, something that happened last season, since he signed with the Turkish team with the market already closed. He does not despair.
Other players with less renown like Adama Traor, Mariano Díaz, or Luciano Vietto, each with its history, does not find a destination either. He draws attention to the case of the ex-Madridista, who has renounced a contract of 6 million euros that came from Saudi Arabia. Traor is another of those who cannot find a team that satisfies him. Neither did he pass through Barcelona nor did he return to the Premier. he seems to have caught the attention of either team. Vietto negotiated days ago with Rayo Vallecano, but without success.
