Sporting push to seal Forés signing from Villarreal
Sporting offer half a million euros to Villarreal for Álex Forés and hope to close the deal before the weekend, as reported by LA NUEVA ESPAÑA.
Sporting are working on the signing of striker Álex Forés from Villarreal. According to LA NUEVA ESPAÑA, the Asturian side have tabled an offer of around half a million euros to the yellow shirt club and have already reached an agreement in principle.
Sporting president José Riestra expressed optimism during Tuesday's new signings presentation: "The idea is for him to join as soon as possible. We're on a very good path and hopefully we'll have this wrapped up before the week is out". Forés has multiple offers on the table with similar financial terms and will choose which project suits him best.
Forés, a 19-year-old Valencian striker, returns to the market after a difficult campaign. Last season he was loaned to Oviedo, where he made 19 appearances with limited playing time. He previously played for Levante (five goals in promotion) and has Segunda experience after scoring 16 goals in his best season with Villarreal B. Sporting are replicating the model that worked with Jonathan Dubasin.
