In a moment of frustration for the player due to the lack of minutes he has had in Europe, the continent where he arrived with the label of a young and promising Mexican figure, the representatives of Diego Laínez They have recommended that the best option is to return to Liga MX.
When the midfielder was expected to return to the club that elevated him, Águilas del América, both Lainez and his agents they made demands that the directive would not accede todescribed by many analysts as whimsical considering that he has not played full games for a long time, always on the bench and often not even called up for Sporting Braga games and before that Betis from Spain, owner of his pass.
In this regard, the sports president of Club América, Santiago Baños, went through the microphones of Fox Sports and explained a little about the situation with the possibility that Diego Lainez would put on the cream-blue shirt again.
“We tried to sign him last semester. The idea was for him to come, play, get in tune to go to the World Cup,” said Baños, who also revealed that he even went to Seville to try to get Betis on loan, but the Spaniards preferred to loan the 22-year-old player to Braga.
But Baños also made known his disagreement with the demands of Diego Lainez himself along with his agents: “His priority should be the sports issue and not so much the economic one”.
And it is that Lainez asked América for a salary of $2 million to be the best paid in the squad, something that is not balanced considering all the minutes of play that he has not played and is out of shape, in addition that “his representatives do not want to put him to fight for a sports position”, which means being fixed in the starting eleven.
In this context, everything indicates that Diego Lainez’s return to Liga MX will be with the UANL Tigresa club that in the past has exhibited the breadth of its wallet with other brilliant signings and would pay Diego Lainez whatever he wanted.
