Six days have passed since Fran Garagarza, Espanyol’s new sporting director, spoke face to face with Sergi Darder. Little is known about that conversation, only the obvious, that the Basque tried to convince the team’s flagship to stay in the Second Division. On the part of the soccer player, he listened to his new boss and decided to reflect.
Then came the probable decision of the blue and white squad. TV3 assured days ago that the player wants to leave, but he wants to do well. That is, with an economic agreement that satisfies the entity and that allows it to invest to recover the category.
Artà’s midfielder is one of the sweets on the market. He only costs 10 million euros, an affordable price for the multitude of suitors he has. Atlético de Madrid, Betis, Valencia, Seville, Mallorca, Celta and also Arabia. Half the league sighs for him, but the decision will be solely up to the player.
At this point in his career, Darder could be looking for a succulent contract and a leap forward in sports, but according to IB3, the public broadcaster of the Balearic Islands, the player is seriously considering the possibility of leaving RCDE to play for Mallorca and return to home.
In addition, the same source affirms that Sergi Darder would prefer to join Javier Aguirre’s team rather than in other teams that have shown interest in him such as Real Betis or Valencia and that he would be willing to reject very attractive financial proposals from the Spanish league. Saudi Arabia to play for RCD Mallorca.
Be that as it may, with each passing day and there is no public statement against it, Sergi Darder is further away from Espanyol. It would be the end to a story that too many times has had dramatic overtones and very few happy ones. And despite everything, the one from Artà was always faithful to his parakeet feelings.
