La Liga powerhouse Espanyol recently lost a warm-up match to Bradenton by a score of 1-5, and Chinese star Wu Lei did not play in the match. According to Spanish media outlet Marca, ESPN senior management has told Wu Lei that he can pack his bags, and it is expected that the 30-year-old striker will return to the Chinese Super League and join Shanghai Harbor.
Since joining Espinoza in January 2019, the 30-year-old Wu Lei has made 127 appearances, contributing only 16 goals, but 82 of them were substitute appearances, making him a natural target for the team's purge. It is reported that once Wu Lei leaves the team, Aisbenu will be able to save €2 million on their wage bill.
It's worth noting that Espinoza have made a massive staff reshuffle this summer, with 11 players already leaving the team. Wu Lei's departure seems to make sense.
