The 27-year-old Elche winger is out of contract. And now we are negotiating with Rostov to keep Almqvist

June 8 – 1.36pm – MILAN
New year, old philosophy. Saverio Sticchi Damiani’s Lecce continues to plan ahead and, just two weeks after the end of the championship, is already ready to announce the first two signings of the summer transfer market. After the 24-year-old Balthazar Pierret, former Quevilly-Rouen midfielder, included in the Top 11 of the latest Ligue 2, Corvino has in fact set his sights on another “zero parameter”. This is Tete Morente, a winger who grew up in Atletico Madrid and is returning from an excellent season with Elche.

After taking his first steps in the Colchoneros’ B team together with Lucas and Theo Hernandez, the 1997-born player showed off with Gimnastic, Lugo and Malaga in the Segunda Division, before signing a four-year contract with Elche in the summer of 2020 . A fast and physically structured winger, he played for three seasons in La Liga with the green and whites and, after relegation a year ago, found himself at the center of the club’s technical project in the Segunda Division. This year Morente has collected 39 appearances, 8 goals and 2 assists, guaranteeing excellent performances regardless of the lane on which he was deployed.

Tete’s contract will expire on June 30 and the footballer, for the first time in his career, is expected to leave Spain in search of a new adventure. By moving to Salento, the winger would represent an excellent alternative for the Giallorossi’s flanks: in addition to Sansone and Pierotti, who Gotti prefers to use inside the pitch, Lecce can count on Banda, Dorgu and Oudin, who on paper are less incisive in the area. goals compared to Morente himself. At this point, the future of Almqvist remains in the balance, destined to return to Rostov at the end of his loan despite last summer’s gentlemen’s agreement between the two clubs. Corvino is awaiting a new confrontation with the Russians: if the request for a permanent transfer is deemed disproportionate, the Giallorossi club would opt for other solutions. On paper, meanwhile, the void left by Almqvist will soon be filled by Tete.
