RCD Espanyol signs Unai Nuñez
RCD Espanyol has announced the signing of central defender Unai Nuñez, from Celta, in a lightning-fast deal that covers over half of the player's transfer fee. The 29-year-old central defender is already in Barcelona and should be announced as a new signing from Celta this Thursday.
What happened?
Unai Nuñez, 29, is a new player for RCD Espanyol, pending official confirmation. The central defender is already in Barcelona and should be announced as a new signing from Celta this Thursday. The formula chosen is a loan with an option to buy for €3 million, optional unless the club qualifies for Europe. Then, it would be mandatory.
Why it matters for RCD Espanyol?
RCD Espanyol will assume more than half of the player's transfer fee, one of the highest in Celta. In Vigo, Unai did not count for a mere economic reason, not a sporting one. And it is that, in a lightning-fast operation, Monchi has imposed himself on the central defender.
What comes next?
Manolo González finally gets the coveted central defender. A player with immediate performance who, if the coach requires it, is ready even to play from the start in the league debut against Levante, next Sunday 16 August at RCDE Stadium (19:00h).
RCD Espanyol is currently in 10th place in the league, with 38 points, 10 wins, 8 draws and 13 losses in 31 games, and a goal difference of -11. The club is 41 points behind the leaders of Barcelona in the league standings.
