Amid Bundesliga interest, Alcácer make surprise move (Sport1)
Former Borussia Dortmund striker Paco Alcácer is off to the United Arab Emirates for a loan assignment:
Crazy turn in the change theater around ex-BVB professional Paco Alcácer!
After FC Villarreal initially communicated the loan announced by Sharjah Cultural SC at the beginning of the week as “cancelled” without giving reasons, the Bayern conqueror from last season announced the termination of the contract with Alcácer, which was valid until 2025, just a few minutes later. Instead, the 28-year-old Spaniard will move permanently to Saudi Arabia, as he personally confirmed on Twitter. Alcácer will sign a three-year contract there.
Alcácer’s departure was considered binding because of the salary cap in Spain if forward Edinson Cavani (35) was to sign. Most recently, a comeback in the Bundesliga was also under discussion, where the 19-time Spanish international is said to have been offered to BVB, Hertha BSC and Union Berlin.
Alcácer was loaned to Borussia Dortmund from 2018 to 2019. In the summer of 2019, the black and yellow bought the striker for 21 million euros. In January 2020 he left Dortmund for Spain, where he has since played for Villarreal. The transfer fee was 23 million euros.
