As mid-August approaches, the new season of La Liga is about to kick off, and the erstwhile returnee club Espanyol is preparing for the game in earnest. Although the star of the game Wu Lei temporarily stayed in the country, but recently has rushed to Barcelona to join the team.
In the journey back to La Liga, the Spaniard club not only to adjust the lineup, but also to retain the core players. According to Spanish media As reported, the club has renewed the contract with the striker Puado, the new contract will expire in the summer of 2025. At the same time, As newspaper analyzed that Puado's contract extension heralds the new season, De Tomas, Embarba, Melamed will become the four major strikers favored by manager Vicente Moreno together with Puado.
Puado, De Tomas, Embarba, and Melamed were the key scorers in the team's return to the WSL in the just concluded last season. De Tomas scored 23 goals, Puado 12, Embarba 9 and Melamed 6, with the four contributing a combined 50 goals.
Meanwhile, As has revealed that Espanyol FC have agreed to the departures of Vargas and Alvaro Vadillo and are looking for a new striker.
For Wu Lei, the Western media's neglect of him may be related to his poor performance last season. In the 34 games played on behalf of the Spaniards last season, Wu Lei scored only 3 goals, including 2 goals in the Spanish B League, a new low for his career in the foreign countries, and also the lowest number of goals in a single season of his career.
It can be predicted that the new season Wu Lei in the Spanish return to La Liga, basically lock the bench. In the case of Puadu, De Tomas, Embarba three occupy the main striker position, Wu Lei needs to be prepared mentally in advance, weighing to stay in the Spaniard or to join other teams, which choice is more favorable to its stay in the ocean career.
Not long ago, foreign media soha broke the news that there are English Premier League teams interested in Wu Lei, and contact with the Spanish club.
After Spaniards were relegated to the second division last summer, Wolves and Watford were interested in signing Wu Lei, but he chose to extend his contract until the summer of 2024. Now there is a Premier League team throwing out olive branches, Wu Lei once again face a choice.
From Wu Lei in the 40 strong match on behalf of the national football team in four games scored five goals and sent two assists performance, his form is quite good, perhaps this is also the English Premier League team to see the main striker of the national football team reason.
