The Cantabrian defender has been a standout performer for the struggling Racing Santander, catching the admiring glances of La Liga sides, Atletico Madrid and Sevilla.
Thanks to his impressive performances at the heart of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-González-c5288 has two Spanish sides ready to battle each other for his signature.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sevilla-FC-c40484 and Atletico Madrid are keeping tabs on the young defender for a possible summer swoop.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ramon-c30533 Sanchez Pizjuan-based outfit wants to add the stopper to their ranks as a possible replacement for Martin Caceres, while El Cholo looks at the player as a long-term recruit in Madrid.
Sevilla were reported to make a bid for the enterprising stopper in the January transfer window, but failed to do so due to the Uruguayan’s late transfer.
Young http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-c5280 is a natural centre-back, but while playing for Santander this season, he has shown his versatility across the pitch. The towering stopper can play anywhere along the back line, and has been deployed on right as well as the left flank by the
southern club.
The 22-year-old has received rave reviews for his performances with the struggling Racing and had a watchful Jose Luis Perez Caminero in the stands during the 1-1 draw with Sporting Gijon.
Moreover, El Molinon-based outfit’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alberto-Botía-c4316 is also believed to have caught the attention of Atletico.
A formal approach by either club is yet to be made; however, it is strongly believed that cash-strapped Racing will let go of the academy graduate for the right sum, thanks to their woeful financial condition.
It has been reported that a minimum bid of 3 million Euros will be required to prize Alvaro from his current modest surroundings. With a host of Los Verdiblancos players on sale, the Spanish U21 star’s move away from the club looks imminent as the summer
transfer window approaches.
The Cantabrian side went into voluntary administration last June with debts of more than 33 million Euros. With a dismal season in Spanish top flight football, the beleaguered La Liga club are prime candidates for relegation this season.
