Alfredo Morelos’ performance in Santos has not been as expected. Since his arrival in September 2023, the forward has not been able to recover his scoring ability, with which he stood out for several seasons in Scottish football with Rangers. As a result of his numbers and thinking about the economic situation of the club, Marcelo Teixeira, its president, would seek the departure of the Colombian for the second half of the year.
“Santos is negotiating a new agreement to settle its debt with Monaco and avoid the risk of a third transfer ban this year. President Marcelo Teixeira confirms possible transfer from Morelos to Junior de Barranquilla,” commented Vagner Frederico, Brazilian journalist, on his X account.
A few months ago, Teixeira said that the absence of Morelos in the Peixe’s usual XI was due to technical decisions. “We are monitoring it because there is a very serious problem, which is a current contract for those remaining from the previous administration,” the president commented on that occasion.
Junior, active in the transfer market
Andrés Colorado, Jhon Lerma and Yani Quintero are already in Barranquilla to close their respective agreements with the Barranquilla club. These hires and the renewal of Carlos Bacca have been the most important news for Junior in the transfer market.
“Now I hope to reach Junior and meet the expectations that the club and the teacher have for me and live up to what is being played,” mentioned the 25-year-old midfielder, who played last season in Necaxa, in his arrival in Barranquilla.
